Responding to the Trump administration’s announcement that the United States is withdrawing from 66 international organizations, conventions, and treaties, Erika Guevara Rosas, Amnesty International’s Senior Director of Research, Advocacy, Policy and Campaigns, said:
“This is a vindictive and reckless assault on the legitimacy and integrity of the United Nations and the rules-based international order that has been the bedrock of global cooperation for the past 80 years. With this latest in a series of damaging attacks, President Trump is shamefully doubling down on his efforts to destroy the multilateral system that the United States helped to build from the ashes of World War Two to guarantee the universal human rights and protection of all people.
“This was a deceptive announcement, given the United States had already disengaged from many of these bodies and chosen to defund key UN agencies. It is yet another troubling example of the Trump administration’s callous disregard for international law and global commitments in crucial areas such as promoting development, addressing the climate crisis, ending violence against children, and achieving gender equality. For example, the UN Population Fund, which the administration has now announced withdrawing from after previously defunding it, is vital in the fight against gender-based violence and advocating for millions of women and girls around the world.

Good!
Get the UN out of the US and the US out of the UN.
Taking apart the global system which has been designed to complete out destruction.
President Trump takes bold action when necessary.
Go Trump!
“out destruction” should be “our destruction”
This is what we voted for!
Deal with it Marxist.
Yeppers! Tired of being the sugar daddy to the world while the world gets richer and the US gets poorer.
the looting of the US treasury is slowly coming to an end
And politicians’ children won’t be getting cushy jobs in Geneva anymore.
Nor will the kids of Federal Judges!
“Cooperation” = “allies” loot our Treasury and we say “thank you we love you”.
Lol.
Amnesty International is the most depraved, degenerate homosexual organization in the world. They disguise their filthy agenda around the “human rights” mantra.
They only care about the right to engage in sodomite sex, any time, any where, with any one at any age.
The sooner this decrepit, immoral, hedonistic organization is destroyed, the better. /spit
UN, get F out of my Country!
So he got them all to go to 5%...which means there’s enough in their kitty to fund these crappy organizations without us.
if only president trump would start a western civilization protection group based on our constitutional protections for individual rights
If Amnesty International is unhappy, then I’m happy.
“a global system for cooperation”
Well, that’s one way to put it......another way is new world order
The UN lost its legitimacy when its first priority stopped being peace and started being the redistribution of the wealth of the United States
No silly….its way to keep Americans money in America and while simultaneously solidify our sovereignty.
Exactly. I once upon a time had some small level of grudging respect for organizations such as Amnesty International and The American Civil Liberty Union (small respect for both) but now, I see them as wholly as arms of the Left.
I realize that small amount of respect I had in the past was probably naive and misplaced.
Amnesty International is the epitome of the UN on a smaller scale. They are all too happy to come after the US, its real allies, and its interests, because that is where the money is.
Scumbags, all. That action by Trump to pull out of 66 of those organizations exemplified another 66 reasons I voted for him.
If they want to suck on the money teat, let them get it from the UN’s coffers.
“administration’s callous disregard for international law”
International law means democracy doesn’t matter.
If a law would be in the interest of the USA, it can be adopted by the USA.
If a law is harmful to the USA, it should be able to be repealed or modified by the USA unilaterally.
Rules might need to be changed from time to time.
Like marriages, international relationships have to undergo adjustments to maintain mutual beneficiality.
I just don’t know!
What’s going to keep the Warsaw Pact in line if NATO goes TU?
