The U.S. delegation walked out of a UN Security Council meeting after France made remarks criticizing America's human rights record. The walkout marks an unusual diplomatic rupture between NATO allies.
The U.S. delegation left a UN Security Council meeting after France made remarks critical of America's human rights record. The walkout occurred between NATO allies, which makes it unusual—these aren't Cold War opponents, they're supposed to be aligned.
Walkouts happen, but they're typically done to protest the substance of a decision or a particular country's behavior. Walking out on another ally's criticism of your human rights record is different—it signals the U.S. isn't willing to even hear the critique in a diplomatic forum. France apparently brought specific human rights concerns to the Security Council, which is precisely the forum where such concerns are supposed to be aired. The U.S. response was to leave rather than engage. That's a diplomatic signal that criticism isn't welcome, even from allies.
