In a decisive move to uphold American values and demand accountability from international organizations, former U.S. President Donald Trump is set to issue an executive order on Monday to withdraw the United States from the United Nations Human Rights Council and terminate funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

The decision comes amid growing concerns that the Human Rights Council has strayed from its intended mission, failing to protect human rights while shielding regimes responsible for egregious violations. The administration’s review has concluded that the Council has become a platform for political bias, particularly in its stance against Israel, and no longer serves the interests of justice or democracy.

Additionally, the executive order directs Secretary of State Marco Rubio to conduct a thorough assessment of international organizations, treaties, and conventions that promote radical or anti-American ideologies. This initiative reflects a commitment to ensuring that U.S. engagement on the world stage aligns with national values and priorities.

For years, critics have pointed to the Human Rights Council’s disproportionate targeting of Israel while allowing some of the world’s worst human rights abusers to evade scrutiny. Trump’s bold decision sends a clear message: the United States will not legitimize or finance an institution that has abandoned its moral compass.

The move to defund UNRWA is equally significant. The agency, originally created to provide humanitarian aid to Palestinian refugees, has faced increasing criticism over allegations of corruption, anti-Israel incitement, and, most recently, direct complicity in terrorism. In the wake of the October 7 Hamas-led massacre in Israel, overwhelming evidence has emerged implicating UNRWA employees in acts of terror, including their involvement in kidnappings and hostage-taking.

Trump previously halted U.S. funding to UNRWA in 2018, recognizing the agency’s deep flaws. However, financial support was reinstated under the Biden administration. The new executive order restores the principled stance that American taxpayer dollars should not be funneled into an organization that has been repeatedly linked to violence and extremism.

This decisive action underscores Trump’s unwavering commitment to ensuring that U.S. foreign policy prioritizes integrity, security, and the values of freedom and democracy. As the administration moves forward with its assessment of international institutions, this marks the beginning of a much-needed course correction—one that refuses to compromise American principles in the face of global appeasement.

Further details on the implementation of these measures are expected following the official announcement.
