WASHINGTON (AN) — The United States will campaign for a three-year seat on the world's top human rights body, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced on Wednesday in another reversal of foreign policy from the former Trump administration.
Blinken told the United Nations Human Rights Council that the United States, under U.S. President Joe Biden's administration, is "committed to a world in which human rights are protected, their defenders are celebrated, and those who commit human rights abuses are held accountable."
