US leaves UN Human Rights Council

NEW YORK, (Patria) - The US has withdrawn from the UN Human Rights Council, calling it a "cesspool of political bias."

- This "hypocritical body that serves only itself" makes a mockery of human rights - said US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley.

Haley said this at a joint press conference with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who said the Council is a "poor defender of human rights."

The Council, formed in 2006, has often been criticized for allowing countries with questionable human rights records to be members, according to the BBC.
