The United States is to become the first country to skip a regular review of its human rights record at the U.N.'s Human Rights Council. The Trump administration withdrew from the council last year, accusing it of bias against the U.S. and Israel. The council reviews all 193 U.N. member states' rights records every three to four years. The U.S. already missed its appointment last year, and the review was rescheduled for Tuesday. Critics warn this could encourage other countries to ignore scrutiny. The American Civil Liberties Union urges the U.N. to hold the U.S. accountable for its human rights record.
