US Re-adds UN Expert Francesca Albanese to Sanctions List
The United States has re-added Francesca Albanese, a UN expert on the Palestinian territories, to a list of sanctioned individuals, according to a notice posted on the US Treasury's website.
Background of Sanctions
The US imposed sanctions on Albanese in July 2025 for allegedly prompting the International Criminal Court to take action against US and Israeli officials. She was removed from the list in May after a federal judge temporarily blocked the sanctions.
Legal Proceedings
District Judge Richard Leon ruled that the Trump administration likely violated Albanese's free speech rights. However, an appeals court issued an administrative stay, allowing the government to enforce the sanctions again.
