France\u2019s mission to the United Nations in Geneva launched a verbal attack against the U.S. following a contentious vote to give U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker T\u00fcrk another four-year term, accusing Washington of abandoning its role as a global human rights leader.<\/p>\n

“The US used to be a beacon of human rights. Not anymore,” the official French mission account posted on X <\/a>Saturday. “Today, it stands alongside North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali & Russia, isolated. And the world no longer listens to it.”<\/p>\n

The mission added the hashtag “#AmericaAlone.”<\/p>\n

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz fired back, accusing France of using the attack to distract from its support for T\u00fcrk.<\/p>\n

“It is disappointing \u2014 though not surprising \u2014 that this is how France deflects on its shameful vote to coddle some of the worst human rights abusers,” Waltz wrote on X. “France voted for someone who has been lecturing free, sovereign democracies like the United States, the UK, and Israel, while cozying up to the world\u2019s worst oppressors.”<\/p>\n

During the vote by Ambassador Jeff Bartos, the U.S. representative for U.N. management and reform<\/a>, declared that the U.N. human rights system “has been losing credibility for decades.”<\/p>\n

“Mr. T\u00fcrk has guided it to its deathbed,” Bartos said. “And if you vote to reappoint<\/p>\n

Volker T\u00fcrk for a four-year term, it will kick the bucket.”<\/p>\n

Bartos accused T\u00fcrk of disproportionately condemning democracies while failing to respond adequately to abuses committed by authoritarian governments.<\/p>\n

He said T\u00fcrk had criticized the United States, Britain, France, Australia, Italy and, more than any other country, Israel<\/a>. Bartos also accused T\u00fcrk of remaining silent for 12 days after the Iranian government allegedly began a new wave of violence against its citizens, while quickly condemning U.S. military action against Iran.<\/p>\n

Bartos further criticized T\u00fcrk\u2019s office for calling on Washington to lift sanctions on Cuba<\/a>, maintaining what he called a discriminatory database targeting American companies and enabling the U.N.\u2019s “anti-Israel machinery.”<\/p>\n

France\u2019s U.N. Ambassador J\u00e9r\u00f4me Bonnafont offered a sharply different assessment during the General Assembly debate, saying T\u00fcrk had demonstrated “rigor and impartiality” during a first term marked by growing attacks on multilateral institutions and the universality of human rights.<\/p>\n

“He has been a voice of conscience, confronting states with reality and their responsibilities,” Bonnafont said.<\/p>\n

An official familiar with the U.S. position told Fox News Digital on background that American officials were surprised by France\u2019s “brazen” public attack and rejected the suggestion that opposing one U.N. official\u2019s reappointment amounted to opposing human rights.<\/p>\n

The official said Washington and other delegations were also caught off guard by the expedited vote because T\u00fcrk\u2019s current term does not expire until Oct. 11.<\/p>\n

The United States sought to postpone consideration for one week to allow additional consultations, but member states rejected the request. The General Assembly then approved T\u00fcrk\u2019s reappointment by a vote of 144-10, with 13 abstentions, extending his tenure from Oct. 12, 2026, through Oct. 11, 2030.<\/p>\n

The assembly also rejected a Russian proposal to extend T\u00fcrk\u2019s term only through the end of 2026, which would have allowed the next U.N. secretary-general to participate in selecting the human rights chief.<\/p>\n

France\u2019s post grouped Washington with authoritarian governments that also opposed T\u00fcrk, but did not address whether those countries voted against his reappointment for the same reasons. The U.S. said its opposition reflected both concerns about T\u00fcrk\u2019s record and objections to the accelerated process.<\/p>\n

UN Watch, a Geneva-based watchdog, published a 2024 analysis of public statements initiated by T\u00fcrk or his office between Oct. 17, 2022, and Oct. 31, 2024.<\/p>\n

The organization concluded that T\u00fcrk criticized the United States more frequently than China, North Korea, Cuba, Saudi Arabia and Qatar combined. It also said it found no self-initiated criticism during that period concerning abuses by Cuba, North Korea, Algeria, Eritrea, Mauritania, Lebanon or Qatar.<\/p>\n

UN Watch\u2019s methodology excluded statements required by the Human Rights Council, comments in mandated reports, broad updates to the council and other remarks that were not initiated at T\u00fcrk\u2019s discretion. Its findings therefore do not encompass every country reference, report or action by T\u00fcrk\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer called the renewal “rushed and unprecedented” and said it was “unseemly” for French President Emmanuel Macron\u2019s government<\/a> to attack the United States while celebrating T\u00fcrk\u2019s reappointment.<\/p>\n

Nile Gardiner, director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation, responded more bluntly.<\/p>\n

“Perhaps show some gratitude instead?” Gardiner wrote on X. “The French owe their very existence as a sovereign nation to The United States.”<\/p>\n

T\u00fcrk\u2019s supporters argue that his willingness to criticize powerful democracies is part of his responsibility to apply human rights standards universally. France and the European Union maintained that he had performed his duties objectively and that Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres acted within the rules allowing a high commissioner to serve a second four-year term.<\/p>\n

T\u00fcrk is set to become the first U.N. human rights chief to serve two complete four-year terms since the position was established in 1993.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
