It is important to call a genocide a genocide, UN expert Francesca Albanese told the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People as she called on all States to examine their relationships and avoid being complicit in this crime being committed by Israel on the Palestinian people in Gaza.
"International law is clear. What we’re witnessing isn’t a simple 'conflict' between two equal sides. It’s a people resisting to hold on to what remains of their land against one of the region’s most powerful armies. If you don’t recognize this as a settler colonial framework, then don’t call it a conflict", she said. "It’s a fundamental violation of the law of self-determination."
