Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, faced severe repercussions after the US imposed sanctions against her, affecting her personal and professional life. At the Doha Forum, she condemned the sanctions as unlawful and highlighted the broader implications for justice in Gaza amid allegations of genocide against Israel. Albanese criticized the US for its intimidation tactics against legal experts and the failure of Western nations to hold Israel accountable for its actions in Gaza. She underscored the hypocrisy in international responses to conflicts, calling for a consistent application of international law.
