<h1>President's unilateral foreign-policy moves, including military strikes and UN withdrawals, raise international law and human rights concerns</h1> The U.S. president publicly criticized the UN while touting second-term foreign-policy actions that include withdrawing U.S. membership from the World Health Organization, leaving the UN Human Rights Council, reviewing participation in intergovernmental bodies, and authorizing strikes abroad. Legal issues raised include potential breaches of international law and UN norms from unilateral military strikes (including on Iran and alleged drug-smuggling vessels), and allegations by lawmakers and rights groups of effectively extrajudicial killings versus lawful interdiction, seizure and prosecution. The administration's diplomatic pressure on allies, opposition to Palestinian state recognition, and proposed tariffs on Russian oil underscore tensions between unilateral executive actions and multilateral legal frameworks.
