  • 08/02/2021

The United States has moved to rejoin the UN Human Rights Council, nearly three years after former president Donald Trump's administration withdrew the country from body. The move marks yet another reversal by Biden of his predecessor's policies.

In a statement issued as the UN's top rights body was conducting an organisational meeting in Geneva, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken Monday said President Joe Biden had ordered his department to "re-engage immediately and robustly with the UN Human Rights Council."
