The UN secretary-general will not condemn the official accused of antisemitism, while the US is reported to grant a visa for a visit.

The U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres is facing criticism for not speaking out against Francesca Albanese, the controversial U.N. special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, who has been accused of being antisemitic.

The Third Committee of the U.N. General Assembly will hear Albanese's latest report, "Genocide as colonial erasure," which she will present during her trip to the U.S.

The widely circulated report by Albanese reveals "the masks are off," as stated by Anne Bayefsky, president of Human Rights Voices and director of the Touro University Institute on Human Rights and the Holocaust.

Bayefsky stated that Albanese's goal is to destroy the Jewish state, and that his report is a new, unbalanced rant that is being spread globally by the United Nations, despite being completely ignorant of the regional and religious history of the area.

"Albanese alleges that the Jewish people are colonizers in Israel and have been committing genocide as part of a century-long plan. Her hate speech and call to violence are dangerous."

Danny Danon, Israel's ambassador to the U.N., criticized Albanese for failing in her role as special rapporteur for the U.N. He accused her of having no interest in the welfare of Israelis or ordinary Gazans and instead promoting hate. Danon pointed out that Albanese has repeatedly spread dangerous antisemitic tropes and openly supported the Hamas terrorists occupying Gaza.

U.S. colleges were warned by him about Albanese, stating that her "latest reports reveal the depth of her antisemitism," and she "should not be permitted near any educational institutions under the U.N. flag where she can spread her vicious antisemitism."

On October 17th, Albanese reposted a scathing critique that labeled Israel as having a "blood lust," urging readers to pay attention to it.

The cartoon in the article depicted a person in a respirator and hazmat suit wearing Israeli and American flag lapel pins, with bloodied hands giving a thumbs up. Bayefsky considered the image to be an example of classic antisemitism.

Did Farhan Haq, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres' deputy spokesman, confirm if Guterres could reprimand Albanese for her antisemitic remarks and if Guterres believes Albanese is adhering to the U.N. Code of Conduct?

Guterres does not comment on rapporteurs and has no authority to terminate or reduce Albanese's salary.

Haq stated that the U.N. Chief opposes antisemitism from all individuals.

Critics of Albanese argue that she is not adhering to the U.N. Code of Conduct for special procedures mandate holders of the Human Rights Councils, which requires that all human rights be treated fairly and equally, and that mandate holders must maintain the highest standards of probity, impartiality, equity, honesty, and good faith.

Did Pascal Sim, U.N. Human Rights Council spokesperson, respond to Planet Chronicle Digital's inquiry about whether the council would censure Albanese for her behavior and antisemitism or remove her from her position?

The Human Rights Council's positions are conveyed through the decisions, resolutions, and presidential statements adopted by its 47 member states at the end of each session. However, I currently lack information on any special procedures mandate holders may or may not undertake beyond what was recently decided at the 57th session.

Bayefsky said the failure to address Albanese’s conduct is infuriating.

Bayefsky stated that Guterres is going to great lengths to safeguard Albanese at the expense of her victims in another scandal.

Bayefsky stated that nothing would hinder him from condemning her antisemitic actions, advocating for her removal, and submitting her case of violating U.N. ethical standards to his own U.N. legal office for further action.

Albanese declined to comment on allegations of antisemitism when contacted by Planet Chronicle Digital.

Albanese expressed disappointment over baseless accusations against her and emphasized her commitment to human rights for all individuals on October 24.

Hillel Neuer, the executive director of United Nations Watch, responded to her on X, stating, "You remained silent when we presented victims from Iran, China, Russia, Syria, and North Korea to the U.N."

The State Department spokesperson stated to Planet Chronicle Digital that the U.S. firmly believes that Albanese is unfit for her role or any role in the United Nations due to her antisemitic statements. The commitment of the U.S. to upholding human rights for all remains unwavering, and they will continue to stand against antisemitism.

Recently, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, Michèle Taylor, and Deborah Lipstadt, all U.S. ambassadors and a special envoy, have shown "strong disapproval" of Albanese.

Both U.S. ambassadors to the U.N. condemned Albanese's antisemitism. Thomas-Greenfield wrote on X that, "Antisemitism has no place among U.N. officials tasked with human rights," while Taylor called the official's comparison of Israel's prime minister to Hitler "reprehensible and antisemitic."

Did the State Department plan to limit Albanese's travel or restrict her to the UN area, as it has done with hostile foreign diplomats on UN business, according to Planet Chronicle Digital?

The State Department cannot provide a comment because visa records are confidential under U.S. law.

The State Department's refusal to restrict Albanese's travel was condemned by Bayefsky, as she is involved in promoting, spreading, and inciting violent antisemitism. The State Department's responsibility is to safeguard Jewish Americans from the inflammatory hatred of an international visitor.

"As the U.N. host country, the United States has no obligation to facilitate the travel of a person who is attempting to spread antisemitism on American campuses. If the State Department fails to limit her visa, they are essentially aiding and abetting the spread of this harmful ideology."

During her U.S. visit, Albanese is scheduled to tour Georgetown University, Barnard College, and Princeton, and deliver a speech at John Jay College in New York City, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
