Blatant Attacks On International Law Are Nothing New For The US

The Donald Trump administration has launched many frontal attacks on multilateral organizations and international law.

However, these clear violations of international law are nothing new for US presidents. Opposition to multilateralism has been a bipartisan feature of US politics for many decades.

In February, Trump withdrew the United States from the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), repeating an action he had done back in 2018, during his first term.

The Trump administration also attacked the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), and announced that he had cut US funding for both UNRWA and the UNHRC.
