Dispute at the United Nations: USA leave meeting
138
In New York, a bad thing happens. People argue in the UN security council. This is a very important group. Representatives from the USA leave the room. They walk out. The ambassador from France wants to speak. This is very strange.
Before that, people argue about Volker Türk. He is the chief for human rights at the UN. The assembly votes for him. He works for 4 more years. 144 countries vote yes. But 10 countries vote no. The USA, Russia and North Korea vote no.
France writes a bad text about the USA online. France says: The USA are no role model for human rights anymore. They stand next to North Korea and Russia now. The USA hate this text. They call the words from France a lie. France only wants to teach other countries.
