Quick Summary

The United Nations Human Rights Council postponed the US’s human rights review session until January, hoping to convince the Trump administration to participate. The council adopted this decision amid "continued non-cooperation" from the US, which is set to become the first government to skip its review process. This four-to-five-year examination of UN member states' rights records is part of the universal periodic review process.
