U.S. diplomats walked out of a U.N. Security Council meeting as France criticized America’s human rights record, sparking a fiery diplomatic showdown. France’s U.N. mission in Geneva slammed the U.S. for opposing Volker Turk’s reappointment as U.N. human rights chief — a move that backfired when the General Assembly overwhelmingly reelected him. The U.S. responded with sharp accusations, calling France a hypocrite for backing human rights abusers. Amid rising tensions between Washington and Paris, Turk’s global advocacy — including criticism of Russia and Israel — adds pressure to an already strained alliance. France’s ambassador avoided the fallout, instead praising shared U.N. values — but the walkout revealed deeper fractures in U.S.-Europe relations.
