HUMAN RIGHTS: ‘Nikki Haley Presides Over Human Rights Discussion at U.N. Security Council’, New York Times, 18 April 2017

In a bid to show that the Trump administration cares about human rights around the world, its envoy to the UN, Nikki R. Haley, on Tuesday presided over what the administration called the first 'thematic debate' on human rights in the Security Council. 'In case after case, human rights violations and abuses are not merely the incidental byproduct of conflict'" Ms. Haley said at the session. 'They are the trigger for conflict.' She referred to countries that the United States has consistently criticized for their rights abuses, including Cuba, North Korea and Syria. 'Nikki Haley Presides Over Human Rights Discussion at U.N.
