The UN Human Rights Chief Volker Turk has expressed his concern regarding changes in the United States policy. He warns that the divisive rhetoric used by US President Donald Trump may lead to deception and polarization of society.

Turk noted that the US has always been a supporter of human rights, but now there is a fundamental shift in direction. The divisive rhetoric creates fear and anxiety among many people.

The US has supported human rights for decades, but now there is a fundamental shift in direction. The divisive rhetoric creates fear and anxiety among many people.

The UN Human Rights Chief expressed his concern during his speech to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. He emphasized that the Trump administration's policies have a negative impact on the situation.

Since the beginning of Trump's presidency, several orders have been issued aimed at dismantling diversity and equity programs. USAID programs have also been halted for 90 days. These steps may lead to a reduction in funding for the UN Human Rights Office.

Turk emphasized that large-scale cuts to domestic social programs and international aid have undermined the protection of human rights and global stability. According to Turk's data, there are currently 120 conflicts ongoing in the world.

The UN Human Rights Chief also expressed his concern regarding national security laws in Hong Kong that restrict citizens' freedom. He also condemned the violence of troops against Palestinians in the West Bank and urged Israel to cease threats of annexation.
