He Javier Milei government analyzes the possibility of withdrawing the country from the United Nations Human Rights Council (CDH)after having announced the departure of the World Health Organization (WHO). The decision is debated within Casa Rosada and, in a previous movement, the Argentine mission in Geneva, Switzerland was not scored to participate in a Special session of the Council where Human rights violations that are taking place in the Congo debated.
In this way, Argentina would follow once again the steps of the United States, after the past last Tuesday Donald Trump will announce that his country left the appointed UN Council and ratify the continuity of the suspension of funds for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA, in English). Along these lines, the republican leader accuses the international organism to have “A constant bias against Israel“
For this same reason, Israel himself also abandoned the Council last Thursday. “An hour ago I have given the President of the Human Rights Council (CDH) the letter communicating our withdrawal of this partial body and that since the beginning has been on the side of dictatorships”Israel’s ambassador to the UN against the UN and its specialized organizations located in Geneva, Daniel Meron, told the press.
Within the largest reproaches that have the United States, Israel – and now – Argentina, is that the CDH did not “clearly” as a terrorist to the Hamas group after the attacks on October 7, 2023which raised tensions again in the Middle East.
The officialization of the country of the UN Human Rights Council can occur in the coming months and could even be completed before the trip that Milei plans Israel, next month to receive the “Jewish Nobel Award”, Which was granted in January for his commitment and support with Israel and the victims of terrorism.
What is the UN Human Rights Council
The UN Human Rights Council is composed By 47 Member Stateselected directly by the General Assembly. The mandates have a duration of three years and are renewed annually by thirds. Until December 2022, 123 of the 193 UN Member States had been part of this agency.
The elections are held every year and the seats are distributed equally among the five regional groups of the UN, and every year a third of the members are renewed. Each member has a three -year mandate. His mandate is limited to two consecutive mandates. As a sample of ituntil December 2022, 123 of the 193 United Nations Member States had been members of the Council
Argentina was part of the Council between 2019 and 2024 and presided over in 2022 during the management of Alberto Fernández. The possible exit of the body represents a change in the international policy of the country, aligning with other recent decisions in the diplomatic field.
On September 24 of last year, the president delivered a speech very critical to the United Nations When it had to speak at the opening of the 79 ° General Assembly held in New York. At that time, Milei said that the agency had become a “multiple tentacle leviathan” that imposed an ideological agenda to its member countries, such as the so -called “2030 Agenda.”

In addition, in his speech the president said that Argentina was going to leave the “historical neutrality position“To be at the forefront”of the fight in defense of freedom”
In this sense, the Argentine pointed against the UN and denounced that “an organization that was born to defend the rights of man” became in recent years in “one of the main propellants of the systematic violation of freedom.” As an example, the libertarian recalled The quarantines at a global level for 2020to which he considered “A crime against humanity”
