US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is trying to gain support at the UN for his new vision of human rights that leaves out LGBT+ people.
However, European allies are concerned about his attempts to prioritize religious liberty and property rights above modern human rights law.
That’s according to an exclusive report in the New York Times. The paper spoke to UN diplomats familiar with the situation on the condition of anonymity.
Pompeo’s Commission on Unalienable Rights has been controversial from the start. Experts spotted immediately that it was an attempt to erode or remove protection for women and LGBT+ people.
