At the UN concerned by US policy under Donald Trump / UNIAN Collage, photo Reuters, GettyimagesThe UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Folker Turk has expressed deep concern as a “fundamental change in the” Policy of the United States policy under the leadership of Republican Donald Trump. Reuters writes about it.
“For many decades, we have enjoyed two -party support of the US in human rights … Now I am deeply concerned about the fundamental change in the direction that is happening at national and international levels. A policy aimed at protecting people from discrimination is now called discriminatory … Rhetoric that disconnects, disconnecting, disconnecting. Trump’s name.
It is noted that the Turk’s speech at the UN Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva, the body from which the United States came out in February, is its strongest statement about the impact of the policies of the new US administration.
It is noteworthy that this UN management was seriously dependent on US funding. The chronic shortage of funds can increase even more, as last year the states donated $ 35 million to the management. This is about 15% of the total voluntary contributions received in 2024.
“The sharp reduction of national social protection systems, climate financing and foreign care shows a significant rollback back in human rights protection, conflict prevention and global stability,” Turk said.
The High Commissioner in his global review also warned that the basis of international order, which, he said, brought unprecedented stability, risks being destroyed. The reason is that there are 120 conflicts around the world now.
Trump’s loud solutionsOn January 23, in the first days of his second presidential term, Donald Trump signed a decree closing the southern border of the country for illegal migrants. He instructed all the necessary measures to take immediate deportation of illegal migrants.
Subsequently, the Trump administration issued a directive that immigrants who are illegally in the United States and are not registered with the Federal Government, can receive significant penalties, imprisonment or both.
In addition, Trump abolished the dozens of Baiden’s decrees – in particular, the one that demanded from the federal agencies to expand the prohibitions on gender discrimination, including sexual orientation and gender identity.
