Arguments for Withdrawing from the UNHRC: Supporters of withdrawing from the UNHRC argue that the council has been criticized for its perceived bias and ineffectiveness. They believe that the UNHRC often focuses on condemning certain countries while ignoring human rights abuses in other nations, leading to a lack of credibility and fairness in its assessments.

Critics also point out that some member states of the UNHRC have questionable human rights records, which they argue undermines the council’s legitimacy. They believe that U.S. participation in the council might inadvertently lend credibility to an institution that they see as flawed and politically motivated.

Additionally, proponents of withdrawal argue that the U.S. could pursue its own human rights agenda more effectively outside of the UNHRC framework. They believe that the U.S. can advocate for human rights through other international partnerships and bilateral agreements without being tied to a potentially biased council.

Arguments Against Withdrawing from the UNHRC: Opponents of withdrawing argue that U.S. participation in the UNHRC provides an opportunity to influence the council’s decisions and improve its effectiveness. They believe that engaging with the council allows the U.S. to promote human rights and hold other countries accountable.

They also argue that withdrawing could diminish U.S. influence on global human rights issues and weaken efforts to address abuses around the world. Staying in the UNHRC allows the U.S. to work with allies and partners to reform the council and push for more effective human rights measures.

Moreover, critics of withdrawal suggest that disengaging from international institutions might lead to a reduction in diplomatic leverage and the ability to address global challenges collaboratively.
