Dear Secretary-General @antonioguterres: This is legal notice that the purported renewal of Francesca Albanese as “Special Rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories” was unlawful, and is therefore null and void. Her terms ends Wednesday: 🧵 unwatch.org/wp-content/upl…

2/ As you know, her purported renewal, announced at the conclusion of the 58th session of the Human Rights Council, was carried out illegally, in direct contravention of HRC Presidential Statement 8/PRST/2—adopted by consensus in 2008, and enshrined in Art. 7 of the Manual of Operations of the Special Procedures—which imposes a clear and binding obligation: “The President of the Human Rights Council will convey to the Council information brought to his or her attention… concerning cases of persistent non-compliance by a mandate-holder” with the Code of Conduct, particularly in advance of reappointments. International law experts have deemed 8/PRST/2 one of the Council’s four “institution building texts.” Contempt for this core rule carries consequences.

3/ As you are aware, a formal submission with a 56-page dossier documenting Ms. Albanese’s gross and systematic 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, receipt of which was duly acknowledged by the President’s office. In addition, letters to the President were filed by the Governments of Argentina, Hungary, and Israel, as well as by the Chairman of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, 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...’”Astonishingly, in violation of his duties and of the prescribed legal procedure, the President refused to do so. Likewise, the Council violated its own duty to “consider such information” and to “act upon it as appropriate.”

STUNNING REVERSAL: 🇺🇸 U.S. Department of Justice Strips UNRWA of Immunity. “The complaint alleges atrocious conduct on the part of UNRWA. The Government believes they must answer these allegations in American courts. The prior Administration’s view that they do not was wrong.”
🧵

2-3: “UNRWA has not been designated by the President under the International Organizations Immunities Act of 1945. UNRWA is not subject to the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations, and is not immune from suit under that treaty or current U.S. law.”

4-5: Even assuming that “subsidiary organs” also qualify as part of the “United Nations,” and are thus entitled to immunity under the General Convention, UNRWA still falls outside the ambit of that protection because it is not a subsidiary organ.

BREAKING: The President of the UN Human Rights Council is reportedly planning to evade his legal duty to convey to the plenary our objection to the reappointment of Francesca Albanese (per HRC 8/PRST/2) by claiming that her violations of the Code of Conduct are not “persistent.”

2/ Any refusal to convey our objection to Albanese’s reappointment by claiming her violations aren’t “persistent” would be a specious excuse. The President's duty under 8/PRST/2 is to transmit, not judge. In any case, our 60-page dossier shows clear persistent misconduct.

3/ Here are 60 pages of Francesca Albanese's grave, numerous and indeed non-stop violations of the Code of Conduct from the moment she took office in May 2022 until October 2024:

For more examples of her wild vitriol, just check out @FranceskAlbs.unwatch.org/wp-content/upl…

Antisemitism Leads to Madness: Leftist Irish politician Clare Daly, an avowed feminist, covers herself in Islamic garb to join pro-Iran Jihadis at Houthi conference in Yemen that repeatedly called for “Death to America! Death to Israel! A Curse Upon the Jews! Victory to Islam.”

You can also see Clare Daly in front row on the far left joining the Jihadi crowd to shake her fist in approval as the speaker, a former ANC MP who converted to Islam to marry his fourth wife, chants “Viva Hamas” & “Viva Hezbollah.”

3/ For a feminist, Irish left-wing politician Clare Daly seems to repeatedly enjoy covering herself in religious Islamic garb. Here she is falsely praising Iraq's Popular Mobilisation Forces for their “egalitarian nature” and “inclusiveness”:

No joke: Meet the new Chair of the U.N. Women's Rights Commission.

2/ Ambassador Abdulaziz M. Alwasil of Saudi Arabia is now chairing the U.N. commission on the status of women, “the principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality, the rights and the empowerment of women.” unwomen.org/en/how-we-work…

3/ @UN_Women and their chief @SimaBahous are even cheering their pride in having this Sheikh from Saudi Arabia—a country that imprisons and tortures women's rights activists—as Chair of their U.N. Women's Rights Commission:
