International lawyer and academic Francesca Albanese is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) since 1967. As such, her official mandate 'is to assess the human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, report publicly about it, and work with governments, civil society and others to foster international cooperation.'
Meticulously grounded in international law and empirical evidence, Dr Albanese’s reports to the UN Human Rights Council as part of her official mandate have outlined her legal analysis on why the attacks on the Palestinian population may amount to genocide, and have drawn attention to the legal responsibilities of Third States and international organizations to halt the onslaught on Gaza and ensure the accountability of perpetrators of international crimes.
During this event at Erasmus University Rotterdam, Albanese will highlight the findings of her report released on 1 October 2024 and discuss accountability mechanisms at both domestic and international levels.
There will be ample time for questions from the audience.
