Trump silently halts coop with UN in probes into US human rights violations

[PRESSTV] The administration of US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
has ended cooperation with the United Nations
...an idea whose time has gone...
into human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
violations by the United States.

The state department quietly ceased to respond to official complaints from UN special rapporteurs, The Guardian reported Friday.

Since May 7, 2018, the rapporteurs have not received a response to their inquiries and at least 13 requests have been unanswered.

Among the issues are separation of children from their families at the US border with Mexico amid Trump’s crackdown on the caravan of im~~migrants~~ colonists trying to enter the United States.

Felipe González Morales, the UN special rapporteur on the human rights of ~~migrants~~ colonists, said he has tried to set up a formal visit by approaching the administration twice but to no avail.

"In the absence of an official visit, we cannot publish a country report to be presented to the UN human rights council," he said.

The administration of former President Barack Obama
I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody...
gave "timely, thoughtful and constructive responses," at least to the five official complaints made by UN expert on adequate housing Leilani Farha (pictured above) since her appointment in 2014.

"This suggests the US has abandoned even the most rudimentary forms of human rights accountability, and a whittling away of access to justice for those in the US whose human rights may have been violated," Farha said. "It also demonstrates a rather inappropriate arrogance, at a time when human rights in the US are particularly fragile."

#1 "rappateur"... there's that word again. Without looking it up in my "Dictionary of Dead Languages" and just going by the various contexts it appeared in, I would guess it means "a-hole"

#3 ...In a perfect world, my reply would be:

"The United States will not send a single dime to the United Nations for any reason until this 'rapporteur'is recalled and his assignment permanently terminated. If this is not accomplished by April 1st, 2019, the United States will review the diplomatic status of all personnel employed by the United Nations."

...and then his lips fell off.
