“The UN people rights council, where she presented her report, and that is under whose auspices she works, does not have the power under the UN charter to issue sanctions,” Herzog said. “And so she not only exceeded her mandate as a rapporteur, the UN -Human Rights Council by endorse this, not to endorse the report, but by having this report published.”
Herzog said that she saw “threatening and harassing” letters that sent Albanian to companies and NGOs “who in fact threatened them with her boycotting list and claimed that they were complicit in international crimes such as genocide, apartheid, blocking self -determination or palestines.”

Israel runs tables on UN official claim ‘Genocide’ in Gaza with basic questions
The United Nations that lead principles for business and human rights is a voluntary code that companies can register as a promise to take into account how their activities are running and their customers are treated. Herzog argued that Albanian “clares this voluntary, pluralistic framework” and that it is doing this incorrect, making it a “binding punishing framework”.
“She not only distorts international law, she disrupts this Ungp framework, and I suspect that if these kinds of activities of her purchase or other people begin to follow in her footsteps, she will be responsible for in principle destroying the entire area of ​​affairs and human rights.”
Albanese presented her report on Thursday to the UNHRC, only two days after the US had called her removal about her “years of pattern of anti-Semitism and anti-Israel bias.”
In the report, Albanese claims that companies have helped Israel in ‘his constant genocidal campaign in Gaza’. She repeated this claim on UNHRC on Thursday and accused Israel of “responsible for one of the cruelest genocides in modern history.” She also accused Israel of the use of the war in Gaza as a test area for new weapons “to eradicate a people without restraint.”
