Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, meets the press

The report says that "the violence that Israel has unleashed against the Palestinians post-7 October is not happening in a vacuum, but is part of a long-term intentional, systematic, State-organized forced displacement and replacement of the Palestinians."

The Special Rapporteur is part of what is known as the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council. Comprising the largest body of independent experts in the UN Human Rights system, Special Procedures is the general name of the Council's independent fact-finding and monitoring mechanisms that address either specific country situations or thematic issues in all parts of the world. Special Procedures experts work on a voluntary basis; they are not UN staff and do not receive a salary for their work. They are independent from any government or organization and serve in their individual capacity.

The Human Rights Council is a subsidiary body of the United Nations General Assembly.

[kieranoconnor]

Francesca Albanese is guilty of having the courage of her convictions and the intelligence to articulate them clearly.

[petergiaschi]

And Albanese handled these adversarial "journalists" beautifully. These are not people asking questions in good faith.

Francesca Albanese embodies the quote, “In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” She will be remembered as a hero; a voice for the voiceless in the face of extraordinary cowardice and violence. ✊🏽

[carlosillich]

Give this woman the leadership of the UN. She is so courageous and strong in the face of disgusting attacks against her. History will remember the contribution of this amazing intellect and standard bearer of human rights.

I love Francesca. Her dignity and valor is unmatched

[johannamacrae]

Truth in a sea of wilful deceit and obfuscation and revisionism. All you say is so immediately recognisable as truth. Thank you Francesca Albanese. You are on the right side of history, unlike a few of the journalists in this audience and much of the Western mainstream media. Hopefully these will all one day be held accountable for their complicity in the longstanding, heinous plight of the indigenous people of historic Palestine.

[suemalone-crossman]

Not all heroes wear capes. Francesca Albanese a principled hero, destined for the greats of history, who will not buckle to those in power.

[arunpathak]

Francesca...They cant handle the truth! Thankyou for your work. Nuff love!

[LousWanderings]

How can ANYONE attack this woman? She should be congratulated for a job well done. She knows her mandate so she should not have to be explaining
herself to anyone about her position. She is correct in stating that the story is not about her it's about the atrocities that are being committed by another member state.
