Attack of the Fanboy
US diplomats walked out of a United Nations meeting on Monday after France publicly criticized the human rights record of the United States under President Donald Trump, The Guardian reported.
The friction started when the Trump administration challenged the credibility of the UN human rights system and opposed the reappointment of UN human rights chief Volker Türk.
The mission stated, “The US used to be a beacon of human rights.
Washington walked out during a French speech after a dispute over the re-election of the UN human rights chief, sparking a public war of words between the allies.
He remarked, “The United Nations was created with the goal of working towards international peace and security, human rights and development.”
