The Trump administration says the United States will withdraw from a U.N. review of its human rights record. Under the Universal Periodic Review, all 193 U.N. member states are required to present their human rights record for peer review every four-and-a-half years. This is the first time the U.S. — or any other U.N. member — has refused to participate. In a statement, the ACLU said, “This move is a chilling attempt to evade accountability, setting a terrible precedent that would only embolden dictators and autocrats and dangerously weaken respect for human rights at home and abroad.”
