Ms. Francesca Albanese will continue to serve as Special Rapporteur until 30 April 2028, a spokesperson for the United Nations Human Rights Council said after the vote today in Geneva by the UNHRC to retain her.

The United Nations Human Rights Council today has defied the efforts of Israel, the US, and others blind to the War Crimes of Israel to unseat Ms. Francesca Albanese Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967.  Ms. Albanese has been under a ferocious smear campaign for many months by deniers of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians, which Ms.Albanese warned about in October 2023, and had continued to document, including her report “Anatomy Of A Genocide” in April 2024:

Ms. Francesca Albanese was appointed the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, by the Human Rights Council at its 49th session in March 2022 and has taken up her function as of 1 May 2022. Ms. Albanese is an Affiliate Scholar at the Institute for the Study of International Migration at Georgetown University, as well as a Senior Advisor on Migration and Forced Displacement for a think-tank, Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD). She has widely published on the legal situation in Israel and the State of Palestine and regularly teaches and lectures on international law and forced displacement at universities in Europe and the Arab region. Ms. Albanese has also worked as a human rights expert for the United Nations, including the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the UN Relief and Work Agency for Palestine Refugees.
