Chicago’s mayor is urging the U.N. Human Rights Council – a body whose members include notorious abusers such as China, Cuba, Russia, and Qatar – to investigate what he describes as a “worsening human rights crisis” in America under the Trump administration.
The United States, meanwhile, on Friday became only the second country ever to refuse to cooperate with a routine review of its rights record by the council, which the Trump administration has accused of a “deep anti-American bias” and a disproportionate focus on Israel.
