ICSFT condemns in the strongest terms the Trump Administration after its announcement that the United States is pulling out of the United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC). The HRC is a 47-state body entrusted with protecting and promoting human rights, one of the three pillars set out in the U.N. Charter. The HRC has a history of bringing global attention to human rights violations, condemning the actions of those involved, and reinforcing a commitment to protecting the rights of individuals. Therefore abdicating responsibility and blaming other countries is cowardly, especially coming from a country that claims to hold a high moral standard on human rights.
