NEW YORK, March 21, 2025 (WAFA) – Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Palestine, has condemned Israeli attacks and practices in Palestinian territories, describing them as "genocide."

Speaking at a conference organized by "Academics for Palestine" at Trinity College in Dublin last night, Albanese addressed human rights violations in Palestine within the context of international law.

She emphasized that humanity must come together to discuss the ongoing situation with sincerity and place the facts in the light of science and knowledge. Albanese pointed out that individuals from all walks of life, especially students and young people who stand against the injustice in Palestine, are the cornerstone of this struggle.

She described those involved in the quest for justice as the "protective force of a sound social system," calling for increased support for Palestine.

In response to a student's question about whether international law still holds relevance, Albanese stated that the issue does not lie within the law itself, but in the mechanisms for its enforcement and the "betrayal of politicians" responsible for its implementation.

Albanese stressed the need to strengthen international law by purging it of its flaws rather than completely rejecting it.

The conference attracted significant attention from academics, students, and human rights activists, who listened attentively as the UN Special Rapporteur described the ongoing events in Palestine as genocide.
