The United States imposes sanctions on Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation in the occupied Palestinian territories

“Remaining silent in the face of such blatant disregard and contempt for human rights law is not an option,” the Coordination Committee of the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council says, calling on all States, the Human Rights Council and members of the international community to act decisively to defend the multilateral system for the promotion and protection of human rights and condemn this unjustified attack on Francesca Albanese and the UN human rights system as a whole. “The ongoing erosion of the human rights ecosystem and its accountability mechanisms can no longer be ignored,” the Committee says.
