U.S. Walks Out of UNSC Meeting During French Ambassador’s Remarks

The U.S. walked out of a U.N. Security Council meeting on Tuesday during the French ambassador’s remarks. It comes after France blasted the U.S. for voting against extending Volker Türk’s term as U.N. high commissioner for human rights. After the vote on Friday, France’s U.N. Mission posted on X, “The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore. Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali & Russia, isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.” www.democracynow.org
