"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.”"
