In this episode of One on One, journalist and Middle East Eye News Editor Sondos Asem sits down with Francesca Albanese, an outspoken international human rights lawyer and the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967.
She is the eighth person to hold that role, and the first woman.
A self-described “reluctant chronicler of Genocide”, Albanese has been one of the most vocal critics of Israel’s onslaught on Gaza since 7 October. Within the past year, she has submitted two reports to the UN human rights council, where she outlined her legal opinion on why the attacks on the Palestinian population constitute genocide.
MEE spoke to her on 13 November, during her visit to London, where she was invited to speak at several university campuses.
