ANTONIO P. CONTRERAS

THE President has been adversarial not only to the US but also to the United Nations, particularly the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), and the International Criminal Court (ICC). He has freely expressed his disgust not only by making ad hominem attacks against their top officials. He even went to the extent of unilaterally pulling out of the ICC and threatening to cut off diplomatic ties with countries with seats in the UNHRC that voted to support the resolution to conduct an inquiry on our country. Recently, and despite the President initially forgetting about it — an indication perhaps that he was simply throwing a presidential tantrum but was taken seriously by his executive secretary — we have come to know that there is in fact a document ordering government agencies to terminate or abort any process of procuring loans and grants from these countries.
