THE UN'S ANTISEMITIC RAPPORTEUR
How Francesca Albanese Abuses Her Biased UN Mandate to Propagate Antisemitism and Support for Terror
NEW REPORT
How the UN and Francesca Albanese Engaged in a Cover-Up to Conceal Her Funding by Pro-Hamas Lobby Groups
“I have never had, and will never have, anything to hide.” So claimed Francesca Albanese in July 2024 in response to UN Watch’s detailed allegations that she took funding from pro-Hamas lobby groups. Yet this report reveals how the UN and its rapporteur engaged in a deliberate cover-up to conceal her funding by pro-Hamas lobby groups, and her commission of other grave ethical violations and financial misconduct, warranting an urgent and independent investigation.
Ms. Albanese lied, the UN lied to protect her, and a biased internal committee served as the mechanism to bury misconduct, avoid accountability, and ensure her renewal. UN Watch’s evidence, mostly confirmed by the UN’s Coordination Committee of Special Procedures, establishes that Ms. Albanese engaged in systemic violations of the Code of Conduct. Yet, instead of upholding its rules and enforcing accountability, the UN chose to grant Ms. Albanese impunity.
The UN’s failure to hold Ms. Albanese accountable illustrates a systemic failure of oversight and integrity. UN Watch calls for an immediate independent investigation into Ms. Albanese’s conduct and the UN’s cover-up.
REPORT
Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
The 60-page report documents how Albanese, the UN Human Rights Council’s monitor tasked with investigating “Israel’s violations” in the Palestinian territories, routinely portrays Israelis as Nazis, complains that America is “subjugated by the Jewish Lobby,” and denies the Hamas atrocities of October 7, 2023.
The report calls on the UN to release all documents and receipts from Albanese’s alleged $20,000 lobbying trip to Australia in November for which she is already under investigation for allegations that pro-Hamas groups funded the junket.
The report details how terrorist groups like Hamas and their financiers in Iran cite Albanese’s arguments to justify their campaigns of violence.
The report also uncovers how Albanese has a paid job to lobby against Israel, for which she founded and runs a global influence network of more than 100 individuals and NGOs to target Israel by orchestrating lawfare campaigns, whitewashing Hamas terrorism, and cynically manipulating governments into funding UNRWA.

Exposed
Albanese’s Global Influence Network Targeting Israel
Albanese is proud of co-founding and running the “Global Network on the Question of Palestine” (GNQP). She runs it under the auspices of the Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD) in Amman, an organization she joined in November 2018 as a senior advisor. The Global Network of 100 experts, senior advisors and observers includes senior Palestinian politicians and diplomats, academics, and journalists, as well as many from Western countries such as the U.S., Canada, UK, Austria, Italy and France. The network targets Israel by orchestrating lawfare campaigns, whitewashing Hamas terrorism, and cynically manipulating governments into funding UNRWA.
