Trump cuts US a bad deal in leaving UN Human Rights Council

[cnm]

Was it an achievement of sorts to have authoritarian regimes give this implicit, albeit purely theoretical, support to the human rights agenda and engaging in the fine detail of it in this way? Or did the plain hypocrisy of the exercise fatally undermine the council itself?

If they cannot question they cannot be questioned, so it is vital for the idea of human rights that those countries participate.

This is nonsense. How did U.S. participation stop the most recent round of outrageous anti-Israeli resolutions to spew from the UNHRC? And, again, we don't have to sit in a room with a bunch of pro-terrorist demagogues to voice our objections to their actions.

In what way have you addressed my point?
