For the first time, a United Nations official has lost her verified status on X, formerly known as Twitter. Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur, had her blue check removed after a campaign by the UN Watch organization, which cited recent sanctions imposed on her by the United States. The move follows accusations against Albanese of antisemitism, support for terrorism, and targeting American and Israeli interests through her work with the International Criminal Court. The United States government has condemned her actions and stated it will continue to respond to what it sees as illegitimate overreach by the International Criminal Court and its supporters.
