World Reacts To U.S. Pulling Out Of UN Human Rights Council

The U.S. is being criticized for its decision to pull out of the United Nations Human Rights Council. Russia, which is not now a member of the council, called it a blow to America's human rights reputation. The U.S. withdrew Tuesday, saying the council makes a "mockery of human rights."
