US EditionUS sanctions UN official over political ‘warfare’ against Israel
UNITED STATES, JUL 11 – The US sanctioned UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese for urging International Criminal Court actions and sanctions against Israel amid ongoing Gaza conflict, officials said.
- The Trump administration revealed new sanctions on Wednesday targeting the United Nations’ independent investigator responsible for examining alleged human rights violations in the West Bank and Gaza.
- The sanctions were imposed following Albanese's report that identified multiple major American corporations as contributing to a profit-driven system linked to alleged genocide in Gaza, as well as the U.S. government's failed attempt to have her removed from her United Nations position.
- Albanese has strongly supported ICC arrest warrants against Israeli officials and condemned Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide following the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023.
- UN officials including Jurg Lauber and Volker Trk criticized the sanctions, calling them intimidation and urging their prompt reversal to protect the mandate of special rapporteurs.
- While the practical impact and travel ability for Albanese remain unclear, she stated the sanctions strengthen her resolve and will not deter her mandate.
