Washington skips UN Security Council meeting
The United States withdrew from a Security Council meeting when the French ambassador began his statement, in protest against previous French remarks that compared the United States to North Korea and Russia in the context of human rights. The assistant U.S. ambassador described Paris's stance as "hypocritical," explaining that Washington felt there were actions pretending to moral concern while ignoring important issues such as conflicts and security. This occurred after America voted against renewing the mandate of the Human Rights Commissioner, which led France to accuse the U.S. of becoming isolated globally on human rights issues.
