(CNSNews.com) – The U.N. Human Rights Council, boosted by the Biden administration’s decision to re-engage, kicks off its first session of the year on Monday with a program that is silent on two pressing situations taking place in two of its most powerful member-states – China’s mass rights violations against minority Muslims in Xinjiang, and Russia’s persecution of the anti-Putin activist Alexei Navalny.
The session will make time for discussions on “systematic racism” against black Americans at the hands of U.S. law enforcement agencies.
