Considered persona non-grata by Israel, Francesca Albanese is perhaps one of the most hated – and admired – figures in the United Nations today.

Unlike many Western diplomats, the Italian human rights lawyer and UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories has called Israel ’s assault on Gaza a genocide, and she has urged Israel ’s suspension from the UN. This stance has made her a target of smear campaigns, with the US mission to the UN accusing Albanese of ‘antisemitic hatred and impartiality’ when her term was renewed in April.

For our latest issue on the UN at 80 co-editor Bethany Rielly interviewed Albanese, who appears to place more faith in grassroots power than in the UN’s headquarters.

Hosts: Maxine Betteridge-Moes, Bethany Rielly

Guest: Francesca Albanese, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories

Credits: Maxine Betteridge-Moes (Producer, Digital Editor), Amy Hall, Bethany Rielly, Conrad Landin, Nick Dowson (Co-Editors), Paula Lacey (Editorial Assistant), Samuel Rafanell-Williams (Sound Design), Nazik Hamza (Audio Editor), Mari Fouz (Logo Design)
