Nikki Haley called the United Nation's Human Rights Council the organization's "greatest failure" and said the United States left because the U.S. provided the "last shred of accountability" the council had.
The big picture: Haley doubled down on her defense of the U.S.' decision to leave the council last month when she said it had a bias against Israel. She also said the council has defended and partnered with human rights violators in Cuba, China, Venezuela and Russia, calling the council's actions those of "political corruption."
