On New Year's Day, 1965, Indonesia, due to its ongoing <a href="/wiki/Indonesia%E2%80%93Malaysia_confrontation" title="Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation">confrontation</a> with <a href="/wiki/Malaysia" title="Malaysia">Malaysia</a>, announced that it would withdraw from the UN if Malaysia were to take a seat on the <a href="/wiki/Security_Council" class="mw-redirect" title="Security Council">Security Council</a>. Three weeks later, Indonesia officially confirmed its withdrawal in a letter to the <a href="/wiki/Secretary-General_of_the_United_Nations" title="Secretary-General of the United Nations">Secretary-General</a>, who merely noted the decision and expressed hope that Indonesia would soon "resume full cooperation" with the organization. After <a href="/wiki/30_September_Movement" title="30 September Movement">a coup</a> later that year and subsequent <a href="/wiki/Transition_to_the_New_Order" title="Transition to the New Order">transition of power</a>, Indonesia sent a telegram to the Secretary-General saying the country would "resume full cooperation with the UN and [...] resume participation in its activities." Pointing to the telegram as proof that Indonesia saw its absence from the UN as a "cessation of cooperation" rather than a true withdrawal, the General Assembly's president recommended that the administrative procedure for reinstating Indonesia be taken with a minimum of fuss. No objections were raised, and Indonesia immediately resumed its place in the <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly" title="United Nations General Assembly">General Assembly</a>. Thus, the questions raised by the first case of withdrawal from the UN were resolved by treating it as if it had not been a withdrawal at all.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="United_States">United States</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Withdrawal_from_the_United_Nations&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: United States"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951" /><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Proposals_for_the_United_States_to_withdraw_from_the_United_Nations" title="Proposals for the United States to withdraw from the United Nations">Proposals for the United States to withdraw from the United Nations</a></div> <p>Some organizations in the United States have supported US withdrawal from the UN, including the <a href="/wiki/John_Birch_Society" title="John Birch Society">John Birch Society</a> and <a href="/wiki/Constitution_Party_(United_States)" title="Constitution Party (United States)">Constitution Party</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Bills to end US membership in the UN have been introduced in the <a href="/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives" title="United States House of Representatives">United States House of Representatives</a>, for example the <i>American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2009</i> (introduced as <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/111th-congress/house-bill/1146">H.R. 1146</a> on February 24, 2009, by <a href="/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republican</a> <a href="/wiki/Ron_Paul" title="Ron Paul">Ron Paul</a>) and <i>American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2017</i> (<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/193">H.R. 193</a>, introduced January 3, 2017 by <a href="/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republican</a> <a href="/wiki/Mike_Rogers_(Alabama_politician)" title="Mike Rogers (Alabama politician)">Mike Rogers</a><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Philippines">Philippines</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Withdrawal_from_the_United_Nations&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Philippines"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In an August 2016 press conference, the <a href="/wiki/President_of_the_Philippines" title="President of the Philippines">President of the Philippines</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rodrigo_Duterte" title="Rodrigo Duterte">Rodrigo Duterte</a>—angered at criticism from the United Nations over <a href="/wiki/Extrajudicial_killings_and_forced_disappearances_in_the_Philippines" title="Extrajudicial killings and forced disappearances in the Philippines">extrajudicial killings</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Philippine_Drug_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Philippine Drug War">Philippine Drug War</a>—threatened to withdraw the Philippines from the United Nations.<sup id="cite_ref-McKirdy_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-McKirdy-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Duterte, addressing <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_High_Commissioner_for_Human_Rights" class="mw-redirect" title="United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights">United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights</a>, <a href="/wiki/Zeid_Ra%E2%80%99ad_al-Hussein" class="mw-redirect" title="Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein">Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein</a> said: "Maybe we'll just have to decide to separate from the United Nations.
