"This hypocritical show was tiresome, but we tolerated it out of friendship and mutual respect among the five permanent members," Negrrea said. ""

According to the Associated Press, the departure was due to a post issued by the French Permanent Mission to the United Nations on the 24th, which criticized the United States for opposing Turk's reappointment as the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights.

On the same day, the UN General Assembly approved by an overwhelming majority (144 votes in favor, 10 votes against, 13 abstentions) the UN Secretary-General's proposal to reappoint Turkey as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. The United States was one of the countries that voted against it.

Turkey has reportedly criticised Russia's special military campaign and Israel's war in Gaza and called for a "massive rethink" of US immigration policy ahead of the 2026 World Cup ".

The Permanent Mission of France to the United Nations wrote on social media: "The United States was a beacon of human rights, but it is no longer that way." Today, it is isolated along with North Korea, Nicaragua, Mali and Russia. The world no longer listens to it."

In a written response, U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Mike Woltz, accused France of condoning "some of the worst human rights violators" and voting for "a person who interferes with democracies such as the United States, Britain and Israel, while flattering the world's worst oppressors".

At the July 27 meeting, Negra stated that the United States supports France in every conflict where freedom is "threatened." "Today, I want to remind them: The United States is still the beacon of freedom in the world." Therefore, we will not listen to their politicized nonsense until they give up their condescending and disrespectful rhetoric and act in the Council seat they deserve."

Bonafone, Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations, responded to the statement at the end of the meeting. He did not mention leaving, but noted that France helped the United States gain independence by participating in the July 4 celebrations marking the 250 anniversary of the nation's founding. "The founding goals of the United Nations are the pursuit of international peace and security, human rights and development, which are the spirit of France's work at the United Nations, the preservation of the United Nations and its independence, and its ability to act under the Charter in the service of human rights and peace."
