Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that the U.S. is rejoining the United Nations Human Rights Council, reversing yet another of the Trump administration's moves to exit multilateral organizations and pacts.
President Joe Biden instructed the State Department "to re-engage immediately and robustly" with the body as part of his administration's commitment to pursuing a foreign policy centered on democracy, human rights, and equality with the use of multilateral tools, Blinken said in a statement.
Former President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the often-criticized international body in 2018.
