American officials exit UN session following dispute with France
On Monday, US representatives left a United Nations gathering just as French delegates started their address. This departure followed Washington's refusal to back a second term for UN human rights commissioner Volker Türk, a candidate supported by France. In response to the US stance, France rebuked the move, stating that America has lost its status as a “beacon of human rights” and is now aligned with nations such as Nicaragua and North Korea.
