U.S. pulls out of U.N. Human Rights Council , reintroducing stance he held during previous term.

President Trump has been disapproving of the activities of the UNHRC since his first term.

Robert King , who served as special envoy for North Korea’s human rights under the Obama administration, said the decision could negatively undermine international efforts to improve human rights conditions in the North .

The U.S. rejoined the UNHRC shortly after the inauguration of Joe Biden as president in 2021 .

The Biden administration decided not to seek a second term as a board member of the council.

The move was made amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas , which launched a surprise attack on the former a year prior.
