Roemer was removed as Mexico's ambassador to UNESCO{{When|date=February 2022}} following his refusal to cast the country's support of the Occupied Palestine Resolution.

Andrés Roemer has been accused of rape and sexual harassment by at least sixty-one women, according to the organization Periodistas Unidas Mexicanas (PUM). Most of these women claim to have been harassed or raped with the same modus operandi: Mr. Roemer would meet with them at his home for job interviews, where the assaults would take place. Since 2019, some accusations had been made anonymously, but in February 2021, Mexican dancer Itzel Schnaas decided to make her accusation public and several other accusers followed.{{Cite web|last=Vergara|date=2021-02-17|title=Acusan a Andrés Roemer de abuso sexual|url=https://www.proceso.com.mx/nacional/2021/2/17/acusan-andres-roemer-de-abuso-sexual-258480.html|website=www.eluniversal.com.mx|language=spanish|accessdate=2021-02-19|number=Rosalía}}{{Cite web|date=2021-02-20|title=61 mujeres denuncian a Andrés Roemer por acoso sexual|url=https://www.eluniversal.com.mx/cultura/van-61-denuncias-de-agresion-sexual-en-contra-de-andres-roemer|website=El Universal|language=es|accessdate=2021-03-06}} In the aftermath of these events, Roemer fled to Israel to avoid criminal charges, where he was again accused of sexual misconduct.{{cite web|author=The Times of Israel|title=Calls mount to take name of Mexican diplomat accused of rape off Israeli street|url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/calls-mount-to-take-name-of-mexican-diplomat-accused-of-rape-off-israeli-street/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210302135226/https://www.timesofisrael.com/calls-mount-to-take-name-of-mexican-diplomat-accused-of-rape-off-israeli-street/|archive-date=March 2, 2021|access-date=May 3, 2021|publisher=The Times of Israel|df=mdy-all}}

Roemer has denied the abuse allegations of Ms. Schnaas through a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9vpEmur1k8 publicly released video], but has not commented on accusations made by the other women.
