“当地时间19日下午,美国国务卿蓬佩奥与美国常驻联合国代表黑莉召开发布会,称联合国人权理事会存在“政治偏见”,并宣布美国退出联合国人权理事会。”
没错,特朗普又双叒“退群”了。还记得当初美国宣布退出联合国教科文组织吗?一个在全球有着190多个成员国的组织,美国说退就退了,M君只能表示:
先一起来看看发布会详情吧:

美方声称联合国人权理事会对以色列“存在偏见”以及“无法有效保护人权”。黑莉指出,自今年年初以来,联合国人权理事会已通过五项反以色列决议,这种“不合比例的关注”与“毫无休止的敌对态度”证明人权理事会是被“政治偏见”而非人权所驱动的。
黑莉抨击称,美国一直呼吁对联合国人权理事会进行改革,但呼声一直没有得到重视。黑莉还说,联合国人权理事会在伊朗、委内瑞拉等国发生“大规模侵犯人权”问题时未能及时作出应对。
US envoy to the United Nations (UN) Nikki Haley announced that the US is pulling out of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), condemning the "hypocrisy" of its members and its alleged "unrelenting bias" against Israel.
"For too long, the Human Rights Council has been a protector of human rights abusers, and a cesspool of political bias. Regrettably, it is now clear that our call for reform was not heeded," Haley said.

美国宣布退出联合国人权理事会不久后,俄罗斯常驻联合国代表团于当地时间周三(20日)表示,俄罗斯已经申请成为联合国人权理事会2021-2023届成员国。俄罗斯常驻联合国代表团第一秘书Fedor Strzhizhovskiy表示,俄罗斯想要继续在人权理事会开展有效工作,在人权领域保持平等对话与合作。
这紧跟着的“加群”操作真是让人“有点摸不清头脑”,网友只好给出了这样的模拟图片:
Reactions to the withdrawal
联合国秘书长古特雷斯:对美国宣布退出联合国人权理事会表示遗憾
联合国秘书长发言人迪雅里克(Stephane Dujarric)19日说,古特雷斯原本希望美国留在联合国人权理事会。联合国人权架构对促进和保障全世界范围内人权起到了非常重要的作用。
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres regretted the withdrawal of the US from the UNHRC, said his spokesman on Tuesday.
"The secretary-general would have much preferred for the United States to remain in the Human Rights Council," said Stephane Dujarric, in a note to correspondents. "The UN's Human Rights architecture plays a very important role in the promotion and protection of human rights worldwide."
The president of the UNHRC, Vojislav Suc, on Tuesday stressed that it is essential that we uphold a vibrant and robust council in times when the value and strength of multilateralism and human rights are being challenged on a daily basis.
了解联合国人权理事会
其官网介绍如下:
人权理事会是联合国系统中的政府间机构,负责在全球范围内加强促进和保护人权的工作,解决侵犯人权的状况以及对此提出建议。理事会负责讨论全年所有需要关注的人权问题和状况,在联合国日内瓦办事处举行会议。
From Wikipedia:
The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is a United Nations body whose mission is to promote and protect human rights around the world. The UNHRC has 47 members elected for staggered three-year terms on a regional groupbasis. The 38th session of the UNHRC began June 18, 2018. It will end on July 6, 2018. The headquarters of UNHRC is in Geneva, Switzerland.
The UNHRC investigates allegations of breaches of human rights in UN member states, and addresses important thematic human rights issues such as freedom of association and assembly, freedom of expression, freedom of belief and religion, women's rights, LGBT rights, and the rights of racial and ethnic minorities.
The history between the US and the UNHRC
2006年3月15日,第60届联合国大会通过决议成立人权理事会,主要负责在全球范围内促进和保护人权的工作。理事会由47个成员国组成,由联大投票选举产生,必须获半数以上会员国支持才能当选。
然而美国对人权理事会的不满由来已久。乔治•W•布什执政时期,美国曾以人权理事会充满以色列的敌人为由,对其抵制长达三年,直至2009年奥巴马担任总统时才正式加入该组织。
Since the UNHRC was founded in March 2006, it has had a permanent standing agenda item on suspected violations committed by Israel in the occupied Palestinian territories, known as Item 7, which Washington wants removed.
Washington said the council is stacked with opponents of Israel and had boycotted it for three years under President George W. Bush before rejoining under Barack Obama in 2009.
But the Obama administration was not all that satisfied with the forum either. In February 2011, at the UNHRC's opening session, the then US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton publicly criticized the council's "structural bias" against Israel.
特朗普就任以来,美国曾多次敦促人权理事会进行改革,消除“对以色列的偏见”,否则就退出该组织。
去年12月6日,美国总统特朗普宣布承认耶路撒冷为以色列首都。
今年5月14日,美国将其驻以大使馆从特拉维夫正式迁至耶路撒冷。这一举动引起巴勒斯坦方面强烈不满,并刺激巴以冲突升级。
今年5月中旬,联合国人权理事会就加沙地带局势召开特别会议并通过决议,决定对发生在巴勒斯坦被占领土尤其是加沙地带的人道主义方面侵权及犯罪行为尽快展开详细调查。美国对决议草案投反对票。
近期,美国因对非法入境者实施所谓的“零容忍”政策而饱受诟病。美国宣布退出联合国人权理事会的前一天,联合国人权高级专员扎伊德•拉阿德•侯赛因(Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein)曾指责美国政府“虐待儿童”,并呼吁美方停止这一不合理的移民政策。据悉,今年5月以来,已有近2,000名儿童在美墨边境被强行从父母身边带离。
The criticism against the UNHRC has further escalated since Donald Trump took the American presidency.
Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the United Nations, publicly told the council a year ago that Washington might leave the body unless a “chronic anti-Israel bias” was removed.
She also demanded the body throw out countries the US considers as "abusive."
Seeing little has happened ever since, the US took actions of its own, circulating a proposed resolution a few weeks ago unilaterally laying out the full makeover it was looking for.
The US draft text called for dramatic changes to the rules governing how the General Assembly in New York elects countries to fill vacant council seats.
It called for making it more difficult to win a seat but easier to kick out countries accused of serious rights violations.
But the US received little support and has not yet formally tabled the resolution, sparking fevered speculation it was about to quit before the three-week session of the UNHRC started on Monday.
最后,让我们一起来了解一下,特朗普上台后,美国退出的“那些群”吧:
自特朗普上任以来,美国已先后退出《巴黎气候协定》、《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》(TPP) 、联合国教科文组织(UNESCO)、伊核协议等多个国际组织和协定。
The UN Human Rights Council is the latest multilateral engagement the Trump administration has pulled out. Previously, the US already withdrew from the 2015 Paris Climate Accord, the Iran nuclear deal, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, after Trump took office.
