The US just walked out of a UN Security Council meeting — not over war, not over money, but over a human rights chief.

Volker Türk, the UN’s top human rights official, got reappointed. 144 countries voted yes. The US voted no; alongside Russia and North Korea. France called it out. The US walked out. And the fallout? It’s not just about one person. It’s about who gets to decide what ‘human rights’ means on the global stage. The US says Türk is biased; that he criticizes democracies while ignoring dictatorships. France says he’s doing his job. The truth? This isn’t about one man. It’s about a bigger split; between nations that want the UN to stay neutral, and those who think it’s become too political. And with Trump-era policies still shaping US foreign policy, this could be just the start. The UN General Assembly has spoken. But the US? It’s sending a message: we don’t agree. And we’re not staying to listen.
