Watchdog Group Accuses U.N. Human Rights Council's Special Rapporteur of Taking Payments from Activist Groups

[Gateway] On Thursday, the watchdog group U.N. Watch accused the Human Rights Council’s special rapporteur on the Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, of "gross violations of U.N. rules and professional ethics."

Albanese is in charge of investigating "Israel’s violations of the bases and principles of international law"

According to the legal complaint filed to U.N. Secretary General António Guterres and High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turkwith, Albanese allegedly accepted honorariums and payments from activist and advocacy groups in violation of the U.N. code of conduct.

The role of special rapporteur is a volunteer position technically independent of the United Nations. Expenses are to be paid for out of a designated budget and acceptance of payments, including those for travel and honorariums, from "any governmental or non-governmental source" for "activities carried out in pursuit" of the special rapporteur’s mandate is strictly prohibited.

Albanese also has a history of antisemitic, anti-Israel comments.

She has claimed that Israel has no right of self-defense after the Hamas terrorists on October 7.

She claims "self-defense" has a "narrow meaning under Article 51 of the U.S. charter" and that it does not give the Jewish state the right to defend itself against Hamas terrorists who invaded their land and slaughtered 1,400 civilians, kidnapped others, including babies, and used rape as a tool of war.

A report at the Washington Free Beacon explains Albanese believes the definition requires the threat to come from "another state," and since she claims Hamas comes from an "occupied territory," Israel’s defense of its own citizens is a crime.

She also denied that the terrorist group’s hatred of Jews was behind the attack.

A good movie depicting NGO's in Africa found at this link.

Of course in keeping with the WOKE trend of everything white is evil, the gangster mining king is a former SADF fellow named Pieter Bello played by Bart Fouche.

#4 The USA has to stop funding these parasites. I am all for making the UN relocate to somewhere/anywhere else. I also want to level the funding of the UN so that each country funds the same amount.

#7 ...the U.N. code of conduct.

They have a code? I guess it must be like Google:
"Don't get caught being evil"
