The Coalition for Jewish Values, representing over 1000 rabbis in matters of public policy, today celebrated the decision of the United States to withdraw from the UN Human Rights Council, and thanked President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and UN Ambassador Nikki Haley for their leadership in doing so.
"Ambassador Haley aptly termed the UNHRC a 'cesspool of political bias," said Rabbi Dov Fischer, West Coast Regional Vice President of the CJV, "and it counts some of the world's most oppressive dictatorships as members. Its egregious and endemic bias against Israel is merely a symptom of that body's underlying disease. No civilized nation belongs among tyrants presuming to dictate on the subject of human rights."
