U.N. Human Rights Council “Shamed Into Acting” on Iran, but Deadly Delay Continues
After we called out their inaction for 22 days, the UNHRC is finally slated to meet on Iran's mass murder. Yet shamefully, not until Jan. 23rd. The deadly delay continues.
unwatch.org/un-watch-welco… For 22 days, the UN’s top human rights body has stood silent as Iran’s Islamic regime unleashed a brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters, resulting in thousands of deaths, arbitrary arrests, and widespread torture. /2

FINALLY: After 21 days of our shaming the UNHRC for ignoring mass murder in Iran, Germany & UK have requested an urgent session on “alarming violence, crackdowns on protesters and violations of international human rights law.” Yet absurdly, likely won’t meet before next Friday. 2/ The request was by the “Core Group” that led UNHRC's 2025 resolution on Iran: UK, Germany, Iceland, Moldova & N. Macedonia.

On Monday they need 1/3 of UNHRC members to back the request, being 16 states.

I predict they'll get:
1. France
2. Iceland
3. Italy
4. Netherlands
5. Spain
6. Switzerland
7. Albania
8. Bulgaria
9. Czechia
10. Estonia
11. North Macedonia
12. Slovenia
13. Cyprus
14. Japan
15. Marshall Islands
16. Bolivia

BREAKING: Cross-regional coalition of 30 NGOs is demanding urgent UN emergency action to stop the mass killing of Iranian protesters.

Over 12,000 reportedly killed since Dec. 28. Silence now would mean complicity. The UN must act—now.
#UrgentUNSessionIranunwatch.org/global-coaliti… 2/ In a joint letter addressed to UN chief António Guterres, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk, and UN Member States, the coalition warned that Iran’s violent crackdown has resulted in grave, widespread, and systematic violations of international human rights law.

.@AgnesCallamard @amnesty You knew for a decade that Alaa Abd El-Fattah's family incited terrorism. In 2012, his sister Mona Seif TOLD YOU she backed Hamas attacks on civilians.

Yet you & HRW gave her a prize: unwatch.org/tweets-for-ter…

Italian authorities arrested 9 people for using charities to fund Hamas, seizing assets worth 8 million euro.

Mohammad Hannoun, chief of the Palestinian Association who addressed an event with Francesca Albanese, was arrested. blogs.timesofisrael.com/italian-media-…

welt.de/politik/auslan… 2/ The prosecutor describes Mohammad Hannoun, president of the Palestinian Association in Italy, as the “leader of the Italian cell of Hamas.”

He allegedly ran a system for collecting funds for more than 20 years, ostensibly intended for humanitarian purposes.

In Torino, 400 leftists attacked La Stampa newspaper, dumping manure, ransacking desks and books, chanting “Terrorist journalist, you're next on the list.”

“I condemn,” said Francesca Albanese, “but let this be a warning to the press to do their job...”
ansa.it/sito/notizie/c… 2/ Government & opposition are condemning Albanese. Pina Picierno, progressive VP of European Parliament: “Violence is never a warning, and it condemns itself, without any ‘ifs or buts.’ Surprised but not too much, by the statements of Francesca Albanese.”

TRAGIC: Francesca Albanese, the UN's de facto spokesperson for Hamas, says she can no longer use a credit card, rent a car, or open a bank account, due to the historic U.S. decision to sanction her.

“I am treated almost like Osama bin Laden, and I find it horrible, horrible!” 2/ Albanese: “I'm the first UN person to be sanctioned...
U.S. sanctions are very, very heavy.
The implications are enormous.”

.@GretaThunberg, while you're feasting once again on Israeli Navy sandwiches, remember that under international law—according to the UN—Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza, designed to stop Hamas from smuggling rockets and other weapons, is entirely legal.🧵 blog.unwatch.org/wp-content/upl…Image 2/ The UN's Palmer Report found that “Israel faces a real threat to its security from militant groups in Gaza. The naval blockade was imposed as a legitimate security measure in order to prevent weapons from entering Gaza by sea and its implementation complied with the requirements of international law.”

Navi Pillay's UN inquiry on Israel just released a report accusing Israel of “genocide.”

We asked legal expert Salo Aizenberg to take a look.

Turns out the report is a complete travesty. See his devastating rebuttal here: 🧵
@Aizenberg55unwatch.org/un-watch-rebut… 2/ @Aizenberg55: “The UN Human Rights Council Commission of Inquiry’s report is fatally deficient: its reasoning is deeply flawed, its evidentiary base unreliable, and its methodology unsound.

It selectively misinterprets statements by Israeli leaders, accepts unverified Hamas casualty figures, disregards Hamas’s systematic use of human shields, relies on unverified media reports (such as by Al-Jazeera), and assumes that civilian deaths in Gaza are only the result of deliberate targeting by Israel.

Its omissions are equally striking. The report erases Hamas as an active belligerent; across its 72 pages, it never acknowledges that the IDF is engaged with a 30,000-strong fighting force that constructed a battlefield fortified with 500 kilometers of tunnels.

Such deficiencies strip the document of legal credibility and render it indistinguishable from propaganda dressed in legal language.”

NO JOKE: Amnesty International's researcher in Gaza got Hamas to arrest peace activist Rami Aman for the crime of organizing a video call for Gazans to meet Israelis.

🇺🇸 @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.”

We are calling on @antonioguterres, @volker_turk, and all member states to denounce and oppose this travesty. Image 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.

BREAKING: U.S. just sanctioned ICC Deputy Prosecutor Nazhat Shameem Khan—for illegitimate actions targeting Israel.

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…Image
Image 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.
