Withdraw U.S. membership from the U.N. Human Rights Council due to the Council's mockery of human rights.

Created by J.S. on November 14, 2012

By continuing to serve on the Council, the United States legitimizes a group that attempted to nominate Sudan--a country whose president has been indicted for crimes against humanity and genocide--to the Council. Of this year's twenty nominees--which include human rights abusers such as Ethiopia, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela--only eleven are ranked fully "free" by U.S. watchdog publication "Freedom in the World." The U.S. must end its participation in this perversion of human rights.
