The IBA staffer organizing the event, Sara Elizabeth Dill @_SEDill, is an anti-Israel activist who routinely accuses the Jewish state of "atrocities" yet has never once condemned terrorist Hamas or Islamic Jihad for targeting civilians. twitter.com/search?q=from%…
When @SecBlinken spoke about Yom Hashoah & Holocaust remembrance, this IBA Arab Region staffer complained: "And yet they have the audacity to speak against the ICC & question its jurisdiction over modern day war crimes & genocide."
Who's the "they" & which modern-day "genocide"?
Article 1 of the IBA constitution provides that the association is "non-political" and "shall not entertain any matter which is political in character.”
So why do they allow Sara Elizabeth Dill to promote her extreme anti-Israel political agenda with tomorrow's one-sided panel?
She's not a staffer but rather her precise International Bar Association title is: "Arab Region Liaison Officer for the IBA War Crimes Committee."
Committee Co-Vice Chair Sareta Ashraph drafted chapters of the UN's infamous 2009 Goldstone Report which was celebrated by Hamas.

🇺🇸 @MorganOrtagus tells UN: “Today’s resolution is yet another counterproductive gesture that only rewards Hamas, drags out the war, and undercuts the very diplomatic efforts to free the hostages and end the suffering in Gaza, which the New York Declaration claims to support.”
2/ The French-led resolution is “is yet another misguided and ill-timed publicity stunt that undermines serious diplomatic efforts to end the conflict. Make no mistake – this resolution is a gift to Hamas.”
3/ “It is likewise cynical, transparently driven by the domestic politics rather than a serious foreign policy agenda.”
BREAKING: The U.N. on October 8th is planning to elect by acclamation an official rep of the Islamic Regime of Iran to its U.N. Human Rights Council advisory committee.
We are calling on @antonioguterres, @volker_turk, and all member states to denounce and oppose this travesty.
2/ Electing any rep of the murderous IRGC regime to a UN human rights body is a travesty.
Here, it's even worse. Under UNHRC Res. 6/102, candidates must have high moral standing, Independence, and impartiality.
Afsaneh Nadipour is an enemy of human rights. Consider: 🧵
3/ Iran's UNHRC candidate Afsaneh Nadipour is an enemy of women's rights. During the Woman, Life, Freedom protests, she defended the murderous regime. She said support for the courageous women protesters was “disingenuous and politically motivated.” tehrantimes.com/news/480477/Ir…
When the IAEA declared Iran in breach of non-proliferation duties, he posted this comment — and the joint statement of China, Russia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela & Belarus. linkedin.com/posts/andrew-s…
3/ He's an open defender of “Hamas, Hamas, Hamas” cheerleader Francesca Albanese
BREAKING: U.S. just sanctioned ICC Deputy Prosecutor Nazhat Shameem Khan—for illegitimate actions targeting Israel. I knew her as UNHRC's ex-Chair: she censored me for exposing Hamas & UNRWA antisemitism, named Israel-haters to a UN inquiry, then plotted with them at the ICC. 🧵
2/ When she chaired UN Human Rights Council sessions, Nazhat Khan trampled freedom of speech to appease the world's worst tyrannies. Here she is cutting me off after a few seconds—as demanded by Cuba & the PLO—after I tried to simply read out the names of tyrannies who spoke.
3/ Two years before October 7, when I warned that UNRWA teachers glorify Hitler & incite hatred of Jews, Khan cut me off. She said I made “derogatory, insulting & inflammatory remarks”—by quoting their own posts. “This amounts to personal attacks. The statement is out of order.”
Today we are holding Francesca Albanese's husband & collaborator to account. We just lodged an official complaint with the World Bank calling to fire Massimiliano Cali for his decade of anti-American and anti-Israel posts—in violation of World Bank rules. unwatch.org/world-bank-eco…
2/ Like his wife, Massimiliano Cali is a dangerous nutcase who says Israel “invents” terrorist attacks. He equates the IDF fighting Hamas rocket launchers with the Nazis murdering Jews in the Warsaw ghetto.
.@UN_SPExperts Your claim that Hamas terrorism supporter Francesca Albanese enjoys immunity from U.S. sanctions has no basis—her term legally ended on May 1. On April 23, she was duly served with our “Notice of Cessation of Mandate, Effective 1 May 2025”: unwatch.org/wp-content/upl…x.com/UN_SPExperts/s…
Notice of Invalid Appointment and Cessation of Mandate Effective 1 May 2025
Dear Ms. Albanese,
This letter serves as formal notice that the purported renewal of your UN mandate, as “Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967,” is invalid and without legal effect, and therefore null and void.
The purported renewal, announced at the conclusion of the 58th session of the Human Rights Council, was carried out in direct contravention of the governing legislation—as mandated under Presidential Statement 8/PRST/2 and enshrined in Article 7 of the Manual of Operations of the Special Procedures—which requires the President to bring forward to the Council any information of persistent non-compliance with the Code of Conduct for Special Procedure Mandate-Holders.
As you are aware, a formal submission with a 56-page dossier documenting your sustained and egregious violations of that Code—including breaches of impartiality, integrity, and restraint—was submitted by United Nations Watch to the President of the Council on 26 March 2025.
3/ In addition to our own submission, receipt of which was duly acknowledged by the President’s office on 28 March, letters to the President were filed by the Governments of Argentina, Hungary, and Israel, as well as by the Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee of the U.S. Congress, who called on the President to exercise his “sworn duty to utilize [his] authority as stated in Presidential Statement 8/2 (PRST/8/2) to ‘convey to the Council any information brought to [his] attention concerning cases of persistent non-compliance by a mandate-holder with the provisions of Council Resolution 5/2, especially prior to the renewal of mandate holders in office.’” Astonishingly, in complete violation of his duties and of the prescribed legal procedure, the President refused to do so. Likewise, the Council itself violated its express duty to even “consider such information,” let alone to “act upon it as appropriate.”
