Arming dictatorial states, training paramilitary or opposing international human rights treaties the US does not have the best record concerning human rights.
Democracy is a basic right.
Instead of withholding UN membership dues, the US should accept the election results and adopt a more constructive approach. Human Rights Watch sent a letter to two United States House of Representatives urging not to condition dues payments to the UN on the restoration of the US seat. Last week the United States lost its seat at the United Nations Human Rights Commission, where it had held memberhip since the human rights panel was created in 1947. For some Congress members, this blow is a welcome excuse to again discuss the cancellation of UN dues. For the first time, the US lost its seat at the Human Rights Commission after a secret vote to elect the members.
