Anatomy of a Genocide

Report by Francesca Albanese | March 2024

On March 24th, 2024, Francesca Albanese, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, released her report on the situation in Gaza. Here is the summary of this report:

By analysing the patterns of violence and Israel’s policies in its onslaught on Gaza, this report concludes that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the threshold indicating Israel’s commission of genocide is met. One of the key findings is that Israel’s executive and military leadership and soldiers have intentionally distorted jus in bello principles, subverting their protective functions, in an attempt to legitimize genocidal violence against the Palestinian people.
