Fire UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese!

Enough is enough. Hamas apologist Francesca Albanese must be removed from her UN position immediately.

For far too long, Francesca Albanese has abused her UN mandate to spread antisemitism and Hamas propaganda.

Now she's under investigation for allegations that pro-Hamas groups funded her 20,000 lobbying trip to Australia.

The list of Albanese's disgraceful statements and actions that promote antisemitism and terrorism is vast:

  • Albanese wrote that “America is subjugated by the Jewish Lobby” in an UNRWA fundraiser letter that she posted on Facebook. She was condemned for this by the U.S. Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism.
  • Albanese routinely portrays Israelis as Nazis.
  • In November 2022, Albanese told a Hamas conference: “You have a right to resist.”
  • Since October 7th, Albanese has systematically whitewashed Hamas’ atrocities.
  • Albanese denied that the October 7th pogrom was the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust, for which she became the first Special Rapporteur in history to be condemned for antisemitism by France as well as Germany.
  • France wrote to her that “The October 7 massacre is the biggest antisemitic massacre of the 21st century,” and “to deny it is wrong.” France said it was “scandalous” and “a disgrace” for her “to appear to justify it, by dragging in the name of the United Nations.”
  • Germany said it was “appalling” for the Special Rapporteur “to justify the horrific terror attacks and to “deny their antisemitic nature.” Germany said Albanese’s remarks were “a disgrace.”

On top of all this, she refuses to disclose her expenses or payments illegally received by her office from non-UN actors.

We urge all countries to support UN Watch's resolution to terminate Francesca Albanese's mandate.

For far too long, Francesca Albanese has abused her UN mandate to spread​ Hamas propaganda.

She is the first UN special rapporteur in history to be condemned by France, Germany and the U.S. for antisemitism.

On top of this, she refuses to disclose her expenses or payments illegally received​ by her office from non-UN actors.

Enough is enough. It's time for the UN to fire Francesca Albanese now.
