The United Nations Human Rights Council is set to reappoint Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, despite her history of antisemitism and anti-Israel vitriol. Jewish groups, Israel, the US, Canada, France, Germany, and others have condemned her reappointment. Critics argue that her conduct disqualifies her from the position, which requires impartiality, integrity, and objectivity. Despite opposition, Albanese is expected to be reappointed for a second three-year term on Friday. The US and other opponents have pushed back against her reappointment.
