Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt
@FranceskAlbs
Int'l Lawyer | Scholar | Former UN Official | Sen.Adviser @ARDD @ar_renaissance Solidarity is the political declination of Love (cit).
The reason I have been tormented for years, accused of the most absurd falsehoods -including being "a threat to the existence of the state of Israel", the U.S., and even "the global economy" (sic!)- is simple: and it’s all right here👇- Thank you @NimerSultany for the 🧵
One way to support @FranceskAlbs is to read, circulate, cite, quote, and teach the rigorous reports she has written on self-determination, carceral system, child rights, genocide, and corporate complicity. Here is a list:
🇮🇹 - La gente in Campania è orgogliosa e di principio. Come altrove in Italia, ci si aspetta coerenza nella difesa dei diritti umani, specie quando a violarli è uno Stato accusato di genocidio, crimini di guerra e contro l’umanità. Che farà il maggiore partito di sinistra in…
Abbiamo spiegato, lottato, ci abbiamo creduto e abbiamo vinto! Grazie a tutte e tutti voi, la Campania non ospiterà un ambasciatore di Putin. Per chi vorrà, ci vediamo domenica sera con le bandiere dell’Europa, davanti alla Reggia, per celebrare la forza e la bellezza della…
Criticar al Gobierno de Israel no es antisemitismo. Denunciar crímenes de guerra, apartheid o genocidio no es incitación al odio. La distorsión deliberada de ese límite ético es peligrosa: #EditorialEE @EEopinion @elespectador elespectador.com/opinion/editor…
No UN agency can simply deplore Israel's crimes today. The 2024 ICJ Advisory Opinion imposes on the UN, among others, the responsibility to remind Israel that the only legal thing it can do in Gaza, West Bank and east Jerusalem is to withdraw its illegal presence. GET. OUT. OF…
WFP Statement | #Gaza On the morning of 20 July, a 25 truck WFP convoy carrying vital food assistance crossed the Zikim border point destined for starving communities in northern Gaza. Shortly after passing the final checkpoint beyond the Zikim crossing point into Gaza, the…
The @LemkinInstitute is calling on every leader in the world to step in immediately with measures that ensure food and water gets into Gaza right now. No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits. GET FOOD AND WATER INTO GAZA NOW. IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU…
If the WWII comparison stings, Israel & Co. should consider changing the script, and start respecting the post-WWII laws written to ensure “never again” actually meant something.
"There is no case since WW2 of starvation that has been so minutely designed and controlled" Famine expert Alex de Waal on Israel deliberately starving an entire civilian population
Qualche giorno prima aveva intervistato Francesca Albanese: youtube.com/watch?v=gFTbm7… Per fortuna abbiamo ancora voci valide che si fanno sentire qui in Italia
Negotiating with Israel on how to manage what remains of Gaza and West Bank, in Brussels, NY or elsewhere, is an utter dishonor international law. "Each state must immediately review and suspend all ties with Israel. Their military, strategic, political, diplomatic, economic,…

A un anno e mezzo dalla sua uscita, il @Corriere si accorge finalmente - e dà rilievo - al mio primo libro denuncia sulla situazione in Palestina/Israele, pubblicato peraltro da una casa editrice del suo stesso gruppo editoriale. A forza di civili sbrandellati, arsi vivi e…
Israel (facing multiple proceedings for atrocities in Gaza) "wasn't given a suggestion by the ICJ. It was given a legal order." States now calling for ceasefire HAVE MULTIPLE OBLIGATIONS to ensure Israel ends it unlawful occupation and genocide NOW. SANCTIONS+ARMS EMBARGO NOW.
[1/8] People in #Gaza who have survived bombs & bullets are starving. Yesterday, Israeli forces again fired on crowds waiting for aid trucks. Hospitals report >80 people killed. The starving arrived as the wounded. There seems to be no limits to this cruelty. A🧵from Gaza…
🇧🇪I commend Belgium for arresting & interrogating Israeli war crimes suspects. The pressure to release them must be immense. Even if they escape justice, the precedent is set: universal jurisdiction applies. Others will follow, & war criminals will think twice before traveling.
🔴 BREAKTHROUGH: Two Israeli soldiers accused of war crimes in #Gaza were Arrested and interrogated at #Tomorrowland after a joint complaint by the #HindRajabFoundation & @GLAN_LAW. This is historical! More info ⬇️ hindrajabfoundation.org/perpetrators/b… #JusticeForGaza #NoSafeHaven…
"How can the world’s universities, and those in the ‘democratic West’ remain silent?" Because the 'democratic West' is not so democratic after all.
1. A poignant open letter from the presidents of Gaza universities aje.io/66loh2 via @AJEnglish. This is an entirely legitimate & reasonable request. These individuals & their academics operate in the most trying & tragic of circumstances, & yet they persevere.
Europeans must make sure that the EU leadership which has protected Apartheid Israel and rewarded it with even more weapons, money and partnership as it committed intl crimes, will be held accountable. Both at the electiont ballots and before courts.
The other day EU leaders like @kajakallas told us they saw ‘positive signs’ in Gaza. Today all our friends in Gaza are telling us they are starving to death. I know who I believe.
If you see this pic, reply with a dot . spread it 💔
🇧🇪 - I urge Belgian authorities not to let injustice prevail on their soil, as it happened in the past, and as it still happens, over and over, on European soil, with so mamy member states violating intl law and disgracing EU values.
“A disgrace for all humanity.” Today, King Philippe of #Belgium broke the silence. In his national address, he condemned the horror unfolding in #Gaza. He called for international law and human dignity to be upheld. Two days ago, the #HindRajabFoundation and @GLAN_LAW filed…
One of the two suspects in @tomorrowland is a commanding officer. If #Belgium allows him to leave, he will return to #Gaza and once again lead his troops — in the same criminal manner as before. This makes the responsibility of the Prosecutor neither abstract nor theoretical, but…
Forza and courage to you all, moral warriors. Stay strong, sail in peace and may you be protected and safe, expecially from the serial violators of int'l law which reign over minds, middle-eastern lands and Mediterranean waters, these days.
The Handala freedom flotilla is off on its way to Gaza! This is a civilian vessel carrying 21 beautiful humans who are in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their right to liberation. It is carrying humanitarian aid including food, medicines, medical supplies, baby…
The West hasn't just sat by passively and watched the mass starvation, ethnic cleansing and genocide imposed by Israel on Gaza. The West has paid for it, armed it, protected it diplomatically, and even imposed new mass police censorship schemes to suppress criticism of it.
Do not be surprised when we journalists stop covering news here. I swear by God that today I could not get up from the hunger. There is no food. Even if someone has money, there is nothing in the market to even purchase. We are all starving. We are all dying.
L'Innominato e il giornalismo alla Don Abbondio.
Li torturano, li affamano, li bombardano, li ammazzano tutti. Ma per loro sono morti "in attesa", "durante", "per fame", "nei centri". Chi sono i carnefici?!?! Dov'è il GIUDIZIO, la CONDANNA, lo SCANDALO?! @Corriere @repubblica @RaiNews #GazaScortamediatica
