US Treasury Re-Adds UN Rapporteur Francesca Albanese to Sanctions List Days After Court-Ordered Removal
The US Treasury Department has re-designated Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, placing her back on its sanctions list. Albanese was returned to the Specially Designated Nationals list under an International Criminal Court-related designation, days after a federal judge ordered her removal over free speech concerns.
Albanese’s UN mandate covers the West Bank and Gaza. The action quickly reverses the earlier delisting and restores US sanctions on the UN official.
