Your Voice at the United Nations

For far too long, Albanese has abused her UN mandate to spread Hamas propaganda. She is the first UN special rapporteur in history to be condemned by France, Germany and the U.S. for antisemitism.

On top of this, she refuses to disclose her expenses or payments illegally received by her office from non-UN actors. It is time to #FireFrancesca.

  • UNRWA staff took part in the October 7 massacre. 
  • UNRWA officials routinely call to murder Jews. 
  • Hamas terrorist Fathi al-Sharif heads the UNRWA Teachers Union.

 

Enough is enough. It’s time to #ReplaceUNRWA.

The U.N.’s new Commission of Inquiry against Israel, initiated by Pakistan and the PLO, is a travesty of justice. Despite U.N. rules requiring impartiality, each of three commissioners has a record of extreme anti-Israel positions. One of them was even condemned worldwide for making antisemitic remarks. It’s time to end the U.N.’s perpetual inquisition against the Jewish state.

Sign the petition to demand that the UN fire Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese now.

Dissolve and Replace Hamas-infested UNRWA

UN Watch has been sounding the alarm on UNRWA for almost a decade, sending countless warnings to the UN and donor states about UNRWA teachers who promoted terrorism and antisemitism on social media. Sadly the warnings were ignored, allowing the problem to grow until at least a dozen UNRWA employees took part in the October 7th massacre. 

Since February 2024, UN Watch’s petition to #ReplaceUNRWA has garnered over 150,000 signatures. UN Watch organized the first International Summit for a Future Beyond UNRWA, convening experts in international aid to testify on alternatives that can be put in place to replace UNRWA’s services. Lawmakers around the world rely on UN Watch for the latest information on UNRWA and have called on the organization to testify before numerous parliaments.

The case against unrwa

An Agency Mandated to Keep the Conflict Alive

UN Watch has been sounding the alarm on UNRWA for almost a decade, sending countless warnings to the UN and donor states about UNRWA teachers who promoted terrorism and antisemitism on social media. Sadly the warnings were ignored, allowing the problem to grow until at least a dozen UNRWA employees took part in the October 7th massacre. UN Watch has since exposed that 3,000 teachers were in a Telegram group that celebrated the attack.
