‘Absurd’: After US bullying, every mention of United States stripped from UN resolution spurred by George Floyd killing
The United Nations Human Rights Council on Friday unanimously adopted a resolution condemning police abuses and ordering an inquiry into law enforcement actions that “resulted in the death of George Floyd and other Africans and people of African descent.”
But rights groups immediately slammed the resolution as overly broad and “absurd” because it was weakened to remove all references to one particularly relevant country: the United States.
