Treasury designates Francesca Albanese under EO 14203, freezing her assets and banning US transactions

The Office of Foreign Assets Control designated UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese on July 9, 2025 under Executive Order 14203, adding her to the Specially Designated Nationals list. Treasury cited Albanese's UN reports — including her March 2024 "Anatomy of a Genocide" — as grounds, alleging they materially supported ICC investigations of Israeli personnel. The designation froze any US-linked assets, banned US person transactions, and triggered a travel restriction affecting her ability to enter the United States.
