The United States will not participate in the next United Nations-administered peer review of its human rights records, the latest move in the nation’s withdrawal from the U.N. Human Rights Council.

Each member nation of the U.N. Human Rights Council undergoes the Universal Periodic Review every 4 1/2 years to detail the steps it has taken to improve human rights conditions in its country and to receive feedback from other member nations on how to improve their human rights conditions.
