U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley hit back at groups critical of the Trump administration’s decision to quit the United Nations Human Rights Council, saying they played a “deconstructive” role.
“You put yourself on the side of Russia and China, and opposite the United States, on a key human rights issue,” Haley said in a letter to nongovernmental organizations, including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, that condemned the withdrawal she announced on Tuesday.
