The Trump administration has formally requested that the United Nations (U.N.) remove Francesca Albanese from her role as the special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, citing her "virulent antisemitism and support for terrorism" as well as her misrepresentation of her legal qualifications, according to private communications between U.S. and U.N. officials obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The U.N. reappointed Albanese—a vocal Israel critic who blamed the Jewish state for Hamas’s Oct. 7 terror spree and compared Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler—to her post earlier this year over the Trump administration’s objections. Since that time, she has penned "threatening letters" to companies across the globe, warning them to cut business ties with Israel or face "potential criminal liability," according to the Trump administration.

Albanese wrote threatening letters—which the Trump administration described as "riddled with inflammatory rhetoric and false accusations"—to some of the "most prominent American corporations in varied sectors including technology, financial services, manufacturing, and hospitality" in recent weeks, prompting the State Department to raise its concerns with U.N. secretary-general Antonio Guterres earlier this month and demand her termination.

"In her letters, Ms. Albanese makes extreme allegations, such as that the entities may be contributing to purported offenses including ‘gross human rights violations,’ ‘apartheid,’ and ‘genocide,’" acting U.S. representative to the U.N. Dorothy Shea wrote. "She wrongly asserts that recipients have violated 'preemptory norms of international law’ and face exposure to ‘potential criminal liability,’ and demands that they cease activities relating to Israel."

The threats "constitute an unacceptable campaign of political and economic warfare against the American and worldwide economy," according to the Trump administration.

Albanese’s legal warnings are meant to complement a draft report on international companies that allegedly contribute to Israel’s "international crimes and human rights violations" by doing business with the Jewish state.

That report, released late Monday, accuses Israel of fostering an "economy of genocide" and contains "fundamental legal errors" that "confirm that her work is illegitimate" and remains "baseless under established international law." Private corporations, Shea noted in her letter, have "no obligations" pertaining to human rights under international law.

"The legal errors underlying Ms. Albanese's recent allegations demonstrate [her] lack of qualification," Shea wrote. "Considered together, these facts call into question any alleged privileges and immunities of Ms. Albanese as an expert on mission for the United Nations."

Albanese, Shea noted, appears to have lied about her credentials, claiming to be "an international lawyer" even though "she has not passed a legal bar examination or been licensed to practice law." This behavior, the United States maintains, disqualifies Albanese from receiving diplomatic immunity and should result in her firing.

"The lack of such action to date has enabled Ms. Albanese to pursue her campaign of economic warfare targeting entities across the world, including major American companies," Shea wrote. "Continued failure to do so would not only discredit the United Nations, but would also require significant actions in response to her misconduct."

Albanese’s legal campaign—which mirrors efforts by the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement—appears to have the U.N.’s endorsement even though the organization recently confirmed to the United States that she "is not a staff member of the United Nations and serves in a personal capacity expressing only personal views." Though the United States urged Guterres and other U.N. leaders to endorse Albanese’s removal from her post, organization officials declined to do so.

"The United States has never supported her mandate, and we seek her termination and immediate removal," Shea wrote in a separate April 2 letter also obtained by the Free Beacon. "There is no doubt that Albanese's comments and statements violate the [U.N.] code of conduct, which states that special procedures mandate holders should be ‘independent,’ ‘impartial,’ and ‘objective.’"

A spokesman for the U.N. secretary-general’s office said it has "no authority over the human rights rapporteurs," who report directly to the Human Rights Council (HRC). "It is up to the Human Rights Council to handle appointments and to oversee their work."

Press representatives for the HRC did not immediately respond to a Free Beacon request for comment.
