(Bloomberg) Nick Wadhams - U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley wrote to nongovernmental organizations including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International on Wednesday, blaming them for urging defeat of a U.S. draft resolution in the UN General Assembly proposing reforms to the UN Human Rights Council. "You put yourself on the side of Russia and China, and opposite the United States, on a key human rights issue," Haley wrote. "You should know that your efforts to block negotiations and thwart reform were a contributing factor in the U.S. decision to withdraw from the Council. Going forward, we encourage you to play a constructive role on behalf of human rights, rather than the deconstructive one you played in this instance."
