The United States reimposed sanctions on Francesca Albanese on May 27 after a federal appeals court issued an administrative stay of a district court injunction. Albanese, the UN Human Rights Council special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, had been sanctioned in July 2025, removed from the list earlier in May, and faces renewed restrictions on financial access. The designation was announced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and centers on her statements regarding Israel and the International Criminal Court.
