Update

UN expert says Western nations share blame for Gaza genocide, calls UN ‘more and more irrelevant’

Human rights investigator Francesca Albanese says UN has ‘failed miserably’ to uphold international law and protect civilians in Gaza
She criticizes governments for not challenging the US over its ‘unlawful and spiteful’ sanctions on her over her investigations into human rights abuses against Palestinians
Asked by Arab News if the crisis threatens UN’s survival, she says it ‘is apocalyptic’ and ‘revealing who we are, as individuals, as communities, as states, as organizations’
