The Trump administration’s move to withdraw the US from these organizations risks undercutting lasting peace and global human rights accountability.

@TheConversationUS @ai6yr When this country is run by a sexual predator & sociopath, this is completely expected. He & his despicable administration enjoys inflicting pain & death on others. It makes them feel powerful & they take joy in seeing women & children abused & killed.
