Today Trump expected to announce and withdraw the US from the UN human rights council

Its about time IMO. We should cut funding of the UN also.

Since he's now promoting an act at the southern border that is against human rights as established by world law I'm surprised they won't kick us out before he can withdraw.

Oh really.
Can you share that law with us that says a country can't secure or enforce its border and decide who comes in legally ?

1. What is "world law" exactly?

2. The founding fathers warned against being entwined in international agreements. US participation in internationalism is contrary to one of the founding concepts of the USA.

You provide the opinion of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights who often is critical of the US.

Just for grins, what did he have to say when President Bush signed the law ? The one Trump is enforcing now.

The UN is absolute trash. We should not be sending them any money.

https://www.motherjones.com/politics...e-child-abuse/

"Immigrants who present themselves at a US border to claim asylum—something they have every right to do under US and international law—sometimes also have their children taken away from them. That’s because the government holds far too many asylum seekers in immigration detention while their claims are being processed. So these parents, who are following the law and trying to do everything right, are nevertheless torn apart from their children, potentially for months on end."

https://www.motherjones.com/politics...e-child-abuse/

"Speaking before the UN Human Rights Council on Monday, High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein used his final address to the body to criticize a familiar list of failed states and authoritarian regimes, including North Korea, Syria, and Venezuela. But he added the United States to the list for forcibly separating nearly 2,000 children from their parents from April 19 to May 31."

Congratulations, Trump. Instead of fighting against international human rights violations in the world we are now added to the cesspool of countries committing them.
