UN Urges U.S. to Reverse Sanctions on Albanese

• The UN has called on Washington to reverse its decision to sanction UN special rapporteur for occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, who has repeatedly accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and has criticized U.S. policy on the war there.

• UN rights chief Volker Turk also called for a halt to “attacks and threats” against institutions such as the International Criminal Court, whose judges have also been hit with U.S. sanctions.
