A new legal analysis by UN Watch accuses U.N. Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese of distorting international law in her March 2026 report to the Human Rights Council.

In the report, Albanese wrote that Israeli actions “meet the threshold for genocide under the Genocide Convention” and described “a continuous, territorially pervasive regime of psychological terror.”

She asserted that “torture is a structural feature of the ongoing Israeli genocide and broader settler-colonial apartheid.”
