美国缺席联合国人权理事会普遍定期审议：成首个完全跳过该机制的国家
日内瓦 — 美国11月10日没有出席联合国人权理事会为其排定的普遍定期审议会议，成为该机制设立二十年来第一个完全跳过全部审议环节的国家。按日程，美国在特朗普总统任期下的人权记录原定当天在日内瓦接受各国审议。
普遍定期审议是人权理事会的核心机制，联合国193个会员国每四至五年轮流提交人权报告并接受其他国家质询与建议。美国的这次审议原定2025年11月举行，理事会为争取华盛顿改变主意，特地推迟了一年。特朗普政府去年以理事会存在反以色列偏见为由宣布不再与人权理事会往来，这是美国连续第二年跳过自己的审议。
美国国务院发言人表示，出席审议将被视为对理事会工作的背书。外交人士与一份联合国文件草案显示，由于美方缺席，这次审议的决定很可能被推迟到明年1月。各国原计划在会上提出堕胎、死刑等问题。特朗普第一任期时，美国曾照常提交审议报告。
人权组织对美方缺席提出批评。国际人权服务社执行主任 Phil Lynch 表示，这是连续第二年拒绝接受审议，要求理事会立即作出回应，并建议在明年3月的理事会会议上专门安排一场讨论。国际特赦组织美国分会政府关系主任 Amanda Klasing 称，美国由此成为第一个避开普遍定期审议全部环节的国家。

U.S. Skips Its UN Human Rights Review, Becoming the First Country to Shun the Process Entirely
Geneva — The United States did not appear on Nov. 10 at the Universal Periodic Review session the UN Human Rights Council had scheduled for it, becoming the first country to skip every stage of the mechanism in its twenty-year history. The session in Geneva was to have examined the U.S. human rights record under President Donald Trump.
The Universal Periodic Review is the council's flagship process, under which all 193 UN member states submit a rights report every four to five years and take questions and recommendations from other states. The U.S. review was originally set for November 2025; the council postponed it by a year in the hope that Washington would change course. The Trump administration disengaged from the Geneva-based council last year, citing an anti-Israel bias, and this is the second year in a row that the United States has skipped its own review.
A U.S. State Department spokesperson said participation would imply endorsement of the council's work. According to diplomats and a draft UN document, the U.S. absence will likely push the decision on the review to January. Countries had planned to raise issues including abortion and the death penalty. During Trump's first term, the United States did submit its review report.
Rights groups criticised the no-show. Phil Lynch, executive director of the International Service for Human Rights, said it was the second year in a row the U.S. had refused to submit to the review and urged the council to respond, including by scheduling a dedicated dialogue at its March 2027 session. Amanda Klasing, national director for government relations at Amnesty International USA, said the United States had become the first country to avoid participating in all stages of the peer-review process.
