The US government decided not to run for a second term on the human rights council.

Taking a year off is mandatory after a country serves two three-year terms, but the Biden administration chose to bow out after a single term.

The balloting would have provided a rare opportunity for the world’s governments to vote on US complicity in Israeli war crimes.

Kenneth Roth : Biden ’s support for Israel has been for the cause of human rights.

US government withdrew its candidacy rather than face a humiliating reprimand.

US credibility has been undermined by Biden 's aiding and abetting of Israeli war crimes in Gaza .

With Biden seemingly constitutionally unable to change, human rights is taking a hit.
