UN rights expert warns global inaction enables torture of Palestinians

A UN special rapporteur presented a report alleging that torture is effectively state policy in Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory, with the international community’s silence acting as a 'licence to torture.' The findings describe a regime of collective punishment driven by displacement, siege, denial of aid, and violence, and cite casualties in Gaza and mass arrests in the West Bank since Oct 2023. Israel’s UN mission dismissed the report as antisemitic, while Albanese urged states to prevent and punish torture and genocide to uphold international law.

Family of UN rights investigator sues U.S. over Gaza-related sanctions

The family of Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the West Bank and Gaza, filed a Washington, D.C. lawsuit arguing U.S. sanctions last year violate the First Amendment by punishing her critical reporting on Israel’s actions in Gaza; the State Department calls the move baseless lawfare, while Albanese continues to publish reports and the U.N. and other actors weigh in on the Gaza ceasefire and casualties.
