Well, we now know who our real FRIENDS are !!!
Human rights and a UNHRC is a quite malleable thing than can be used by ex-slave masters and traders and smaller countries ride on their tail to provide legitimacy, to exert their control and regime change as they wish.
The UN and its fat-cat public servants are a disgrace to the World.
Look at the destruction being caused in Ukraine. Has the UN been able to halt this destruction being caused by just one person to deal with his own insecurities?
The UNHRC provides an opportunity to its fat-cat public servants for a luxury holiday once in two years.
The Trump leadership quite correctly cut off funding for the UN and its associated agencies.
