Last Tuesday, nearly 18 months after first warning of such a move, the U.S. pulled out of the United Nations Human Rights Council. Explaining the decision, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley stated, “this disproportionate focus and unending hostility toward Israel is clear proof that the council is motivated by political bias, not by human rights.”

Predictably, the non-governmental organizations most intertwined with the Council, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, launched into hysterics. Ken Roth raged, “Trump has decided that ‘America First’ means ignoring the suffering of civilians in Syria and ethnic minorities in Myanmar at the United Nations.” Amnesty tweeted, “Ten good reasons for the #US to leave the UN Human Rights Council” with a blank list of items.
