Should we, people who remain married to justice, accept that international law, if it ever did work, is today defunct? In a broader sense, when we pursue its application are we in danger of creating a sense of false hope.
These are the existential questions we are now asking ourselves as the genocide in Gaza proceeds at pace into its second year.
Francesca Albanese, an international lawyer who has been in the eye of the storm, speaks truth at the highest levels. She specialises in international humanitarian law and is the special rapporteur for the UN reporting on Palestine.

Haaretz ~ “I was the minister of justice. I am a lawyer … But I am against law – international law in particular. Law in general.” This statement was made by Tzipi Livni during Israel’s negotiations with the Palestinians in 2007″
