U.S. to withdraw from the U.N. human rights council.

[Supersubes]

Anyone know what membership to this council requires? Is it money, or perhaps a vote from the existing members? In other words, are we sticking it to them, or just taking our ball and going home? My general feeling is the UN can kiss my ass, but admittedly I’m not well versed on this council beyond knowing that many of the member nations suck, and the council’s general bias agains Israel.

U.S. Announces Its Withdrawal From U.N.'s Human Rights Council - NPR https://apple.news/AT-JLd7WRRxCBl3Cw4LUo-w


Partial paste:

“After more than a year of complaints and warnings — some subtle and others a little less so — the Trump administration has announced that the United States is withdrawing from the United Nations Human Rights Council. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley announced the decision in a joint statement to the media Tuesday.
The move comes as little surprise from an administration that frequently has lambasted the 47-member body for a gamut of perceived failures — including what Haley has called the council's "relentless, pathological campaign" against Israel, a staunch U.S. ally.
In a speech to the council last year, Haley delivered something amounting to an ultimatum: Either the Human Rights Council can "address its chronic anti-Israel bias" and clean up its roster of member countries — which includes Venezuela, China, Saudi Arabia and other countries with dubious human rights records of their own — or the council can bid the U.S. farewell”.

Good first step

 

[Alphatreedog]

That's funny shit . Effin Saudis chop off forty heads at a pop no problem . Israel answers a week of rocket attacks and everyone piles on . How the fuck did the Saudis and Venezuela get on the fuckin human rights commision .

 

[mdmp5]

Isn’t it getting a little old of a tactic to keep naming these things after ostensible righteous and innocuous causes?

Who is in charge of Human Rights Counsel? Somalia? Saudi? Putin? MS13? Rahm Emmanuel? I am just checking to see which tyrant is currently in charge before I start laughing my ASS off about this farce of a debating society.

Screw these leftist turd burglars.... Now, let's withdraw from the UN, sell the building and send them to meet in, say, Burma.

What a crap show.

Cheers,

Sirhr

Certainly is and the US pays for 22%, while China only 8% and Russia 3%. Japan pays more than Russia or China. Ludicrous!.

You have to be hard core against the traditional western standards of what are considered human rights such as: equality of opportunity, respect for the individual, freedom of religion, understanding that govt is the servant of the people not the other way around - in order to have a voice that the globalists will listen to.

We pay while everyone comes to the UN and condemns the US.

Pull out of the entire organization.

 

[pmclaine]

Stand by for UNHRC to condemn us our activities in securing our borders.

Perfect chance to get the talking heads chattering to obscure the revelation of the Coup.

Good luck running without a quarter of your funding ....

 

[ArmyJerry]

the un needs to be removed from my country

 

[oneshot86]

yes

 

[sirhrmechanic]

the un needs to be removed from my country

I only hit "like" on this... because there is not a button saying "Deliriously happy supporting this sentiment and in giddy happiness with this sentiment because the UN-are a bunch of skin-flute virtuosos."

When there is a button like that... I'll press it in support of the above statement.

Cheers,

[ArmyJerry]

hahahah

 

[sid]

The human rights council is not the UN, don't mix the funding of the UN with the news that the US is getting out of the council

 

[pmclaine]

No just let them pay the market rates that piece of property commands.

It would be nice to get some money out of them for once.

 

[ArmyJerry]

Well if its not the UN kick their asses out of my country today, who fucking let them in?

 

[Arc Light]

Agree with Jerry, get that useless byzantine beauracracy the hell out of our country.

Trump can turn those UN properties into 1st class shopping, dining and luxury apartments in under a year. Mark my words.

I can not believe you said 'Giddy Happiness' - You've been hanging around Maser too long... way too long.

Really, thought it was called The United Nations Human Rights Council. Withdraw from it, don't stop, get rid of UN on US soil and withdraw from it.

Setup just like the US tax code.

Huh? That’s like saying Congress is not the US government. True, but nearly meaningless. The U.N. HRC makes judgements and findings and refers them to the general assembly, so in matters of human rights they ARE the U.N.
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

 

[hlee]

The point is that the US leaving the HRC does not mean the US is leaving the UN- which means there will be no change in funding, either of the UN or the UNHRC...

 

[Fig]

Ok. I don’t see how anyone would have misunderstood that. Kind of why everyone is saying we SHOULD pull out.

 

[Sean the Nailer]

Ya'll gotta change the name/initials for the Human Rights Commission. We've seen far too much of the 'h-r-c' in our lifetime. Actually, with the most recent election.... mankind has seen enough of the 'h-r-c' for all eternity.

 

[Fig]

They’re about the same damn thing aren’t they? Both claim and appear to be the opposite of what they really are in true Orwellian fashion.
One is a “Human Rights Council” that concerns itself with protecting the abusers of human rights, and the other is a politician who claims to fight for “The People” while running a giant criminal organization focused on stealing public and private money for chairity.

 

[CRT2]

The point is that the US leaving the HRC does not mean the US is leaving the UN- which means there will be no change in funding, either of the UN or the UNHRC...

The intent of my OP was to point out what it is costing us to support the UN and all their organizations including the HRC - and how much less all the others contribute. UN is an organization that has outlived its usefulness.

 

[pmclaine]

UN is an organization that has outlived its usefulness.

The UN has never lived up to its Charter.

Like Congress/US Govt being useless perhaps that is a great thing.
