France issues apology to US over UN row
France and the United States have opened a diplomatic dispute over a vote at the United Nations General Assembly, where Washington suspended the appointment process for France's new ambassador, Orian Luchovallie, due to French criticisms of America regarding human rights and its support for critiques of U.S. policies—especially following Washington's opposition to renewing the term of the Human Rights Commissioner, Volker Turk. France responded by acknowledging its mistake in its statement, which helped to de-escalate tensions and resume cooperation. Washington expressed appreciation for France's statement and looks forward to working together to promote shared values and interests.
