Waltz Blasts France Over Social Media Criticism of U.S. After UN Vote - Internewscast Journal
The dispute followed a 144-13 General Assembly vote to extend Volker Türk’s term, then spread to a rare Security Council walkout.
- On July 27, the United States walked out of a UN Security Council meeting when French Ambassador Jerome Bonnafont took the floor, protesting French comments comparing the US to North Korea regarding human rights votes.
- Tensions erupted following a July 24 General Assembly vote where the United States was one of 10 countries voting against extending Volker Turk's mandate as UN high commissioner for human rights, joining Russia and North Korea.
- France's mission to the United Nations in Geneva subsequently posted that the US, once a "beacon of human rights," now stands "isolated" alongside North Korea and Russia, garnering nearly two million views.
- US Representative to the UN Mike Waltz dismissed the French post as "disappointing," claiming it deflects from France's voting record, while Bonnafont emphasized France's historic partnership with the United States.
- Political commentator Aaron Parnas described the exchange as a "landmark moment," noting that for one government to publicly call out another by name and hashtag represents a significant diplomatic shift.
