(Worthy News) – At a time when the Chinese Communist Party is eyeing another three-year term on the U.N. Human Rights Council, a pledge in the Democratic Party’s draft 2020 platform for the U.S. to return to a body plagued by the presence of rights-abusing regimes is drawing some criticism.

“The Democratic Party’s 2020 foreign policy platform calls to rejoin the UN Human Rights Council after the Trump administration rightly withdrew,” tweeted Nikki Haley, who as ambassador to the United Nations led the U.S. out of the HRC two years ago.

“Never mind that the corrupt body is filled with human rights abusers or that Cuba, Russia & Saudi Arabia are running for seats,” she said.

In an earlier tweet, Haley also drew attention to another reason given by the Trump administration for the decision to exit the Geneva-based council – a disproportionate focus on Israel. [ Source: CNS News (Read More…) ]
