Mario Nawfal(@MarioNawfal):🇺🇸🇺🇳 The U.S. is about to become the FIRST country EVER to fully skip its UN human rights review. Every UN member gets its record examined roughly every 4 to 5 years. Washington already missed its slot last November, so the UN pushed it back a year to today, hoping the U.S. would change its mind. It didn't. The State Department says it gives the Human Rights Council "no credibility" and calls it an "irredeemable body" that pushes anti-American rhetoric. And there's no plan B. Under the council's rules, if the country doesn't show up, the review simply can't go ahead. If the world’s biggest power can just skip it, what’s stopping everyone else? Source: AP / Writer: Julie
