The Trump administration is considering pulling the United States out of the United Nations Human Rights Council, a body that has been accused of being biased against Israel and criticized for including abusive governments, according to two sources in regular contact with former and current U.S. officials.

Good. Considering all the new Sharia countries on it, the 'council' is a freaking lie anyway. Has been for a long, long time even before the Islam invasion.

Yet more winning.

Perhaps the first step in getting out of the UN completely.

The Council is a rogues gallery of garbage countries. We shouldn't be involved with them,

Current members include Egypt, Tunisia, Rwanda, Iraq, Saudi Arabia.

Stated agenda of UNHRC:

"The UNHRC addresses human rights-related situations in all UN member states. The UNHRC also addresses important thematic human rights issues such as freedom of association and assembly, freedom of expression, freedom of belief and religion, women's rights, LGBT rights, and the rights of racial and ethnic minorities.[a]"

Going out on a limb, I doubt that group is in synch, with their own national governments, regarding those bolded agenda items.

Only western countries, who pay for this crap, are stupid enough to actually take these things seriously. The rest are on the gravy train and use the UN to plunder.
