U.S. Court Halts Sanctions on UN Special Rapporteur for Palestinian Affairs

A U.S. court issued a ruling halting sanctions that the United States administration had imposed on Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Albanese announced the suspension of sanctions that had included the freezing of her assets and a ban on her financial dealings in the United States. The decision, which constitutes a legal victory for her, came following her appeals against the sanction measures.
