Some of the U.N. organizations that the United States removed itself from are the U.N. Economic and Social Council, the International Law Commission, the U.N. Alliance of Civilizations, the U.N. Democracy Fund, the U.N. Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, and the U.N. University.
Also included in that list is the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent, an organization that United States officials have called “racist.”
“America will no longer lend its credibility to racist organizations,” State Department principal spokesman Tommy Pigott told the New York Post.
“Radical activists who embrace DEI ideology and seek to compel the United States to adopt policies mandating race-based wealth redistribution, in organizations such as the U.N. Permanent Forum on People of African Descent, will no longer be entertained,” he added.
According to an article on the United Nations’ website, the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent seeks “slavery reparations” and fashions itself as a forum to “shape … global reparations agendas.”
According to the Post, Trump administration officials have alleged that the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent, a subsidiary of the United Nations Human Rights Office, runs afoul of the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment and Equal Protection clause with its focus on “victim-based social policies.”
Notably missing from the list is the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, even though Trump’s February executive order called for an investigation into it. Specifically, the executive order said, “The review will include an evaluation of how and if UNESCO supports United States interests. In particular, the review will include an analysis of any anti-Semitism or anti-Israel sentiment within the organization.”
Trump and the Treasury Department also ordered the United States’ “immediate” withdrawal from the Green Climate Fund on Thursday.
