Human rights in Palestinian occupied territories: UN Special Rapporteur's Briefing | United Nations

- Press conference by Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967.
The Chair of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and in Israel, Navi Pillay, said that there are “clear indications that international crimes have been committed” in the current conflict.
Briefing journalists in New York today (25 Oct), Pillay added, “So accordingly in line with our mandate, we began collecting evidence of war crimes committed by Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups and by Israeli security forces, and we issued a call for submissions later last week.”
Pillay also said, “I assure you that we intend to continue pursuing the fulfilment of our mandate, including in relation to making recommendations, in particular on accountability measures, with a view to avoiding and ending impunity and ensuring legal accountability, including individual criminal and command responsibility.”
The Commission's Chair noted, “International law has clear obligations on every state whether they exercising self defense, or hostile warfare to protect civilians, and I fear that this is not happening. Civilians are being targeted and civilian objects, structures are being damaged, irreparably, so it's a huge concern and we are going to be looking into this, expanding on this.”
Another member of the Commission, Chris Sidoti, noted that the law of armed conflict applies in this case.
Sidoti added, “That does mean that the State of Israel has the obligation to defend its citizens. But it means that it must be done in accordance with international law, and the principles of necessity, reasonableness, proportionality, discrimination, precaution and so forth. And it's those principles and the observance of those principles that becomes the critical question. And that's the question that we are going to have to examine in the investigation that, as our chair has indicated, we've already announced.”
The expert concluded, “Is it possible to conduct the kind of military operation that Israel is conducting in Gaza and still comply with international law? That is a live question, we don't have conclusions, we need to investigate. But that is really the fundamental question that confronts the international system at the moment. Israel has an obligation to defend its citizens, no doubt about that. But is it possible to do that in the way in which it is being done and still comply with international law? That's the question.”

I'm concerned about Guterrez, I believe he's being bullied by Israel representatives
After speaking the truth
Me too. Mr Guerriez has spoken the truth. The Israeli leadership is reeling from shock, grief, anger, disbelief, and shame, for not protecting its citizens. This carnage will achieve nothing but further shame for Israel. How ever will they live with this in the world? Are the leaders of Israel putting their own mad hubris above the safety of their hostages?
@janesoole703 you forgot to mention "ARROGANCE" from Israeli side.
I wonder if "Bibi" allowed this to happen in order ta have the perfect excuse to wipe out Palestinians at the expense of a few hundred casualties of their own.....they knew this was boiling, and so did Egypt which alerted Israel
They are proving & proving clearly that they can bully every one included un cheif bkos they think they are powerful in doing what they do, in cheif is not working for the interests of individual group of people but all nations, & was not appointed by Hama's so let anyone day dreaming follow what the great UN chief is doing to bring peace to that part of the world that seems the world belongs to them alone, arrogance will finally lead to their collapse, un body is not Hama's or Israel the need to that,
Me too
israel does have a huge spy net inside usa, universities, and a army of trolls in the internet. fact. check the intercept last 3 part documentary
All governments should be accountable for their actions. NO ONE should be above the law. To allow any government to abuse of their power without criticism and accountability , that’s how tyrants are born.
Is there a way to get all governments accountable? I don't think so. The international court exists, but hasn't got much support.
that is because we are being ruled by wanna/be tyrants @@solapowsj25

Wow... you're on the right side of history. Salute 🙏. Thank you, you care about human rights and justice.
I've never seen such sadness in my 40years of life 😢 I've seen so much suffering over the last 2 weeks and on the innocent people of Palestine
No imagine me, with 61 years old. Since I remember this story repeats again and again.
Let’s HOPE THIS time is somehow different ❤️🩹 The world is crying out for Justice for Palestine 🇵🇸
@@antoniomiguelsimao No, imagine me, with 109 years . . . seeing the brutality committed by the west and its cronies upon victims in poor countries again and again with immunity.
😢😢
Innocent??? backs of heads? Disinfectors? Burning babies alive? Abducting citizens as hostages?? Really merciless to the innocent!!!
UN is starting to show fairness . It must be continued to act as UN.
UN has always supported a two state solution. Problem is nothing can happen unless other countries follow through on its recommendations.
The two state solution is no longer logistically possible. The Israeli government must be disbanded and in its place there should be a secular state with equal rights for all, including Palestinians of course
@@thl205 for 65 years in the past PS authorities never accepted a 2 state solution
@@veronikakuznetov7186 Israel and Palestine signed the Oslo Accords in 1993. The Israeli right-wing opposed it, they assassinated the Israeli PM, and Netanyahu became PM who has openly opposed Oslo Accords. He has no interest in fulfilling that agreement.
Thank you Madam ❤️
Wow what brave woman speaking the truth about colonies and the peace process.
Yes. Incredibly courageous lady.
Everyone understands except , England , America , France , and Israel .
No, not courage here, she has a very limited background knowledge about the conflict
and a bias based on hearsay.
@ushual go check al nakba and do research on Benjamin freedman you'll get your answers
@@ushual Oh please! Never heard truth telling being accused of bias!
Thank you, Francesca Albanese. May your words be carried wide and far, specially reaching those warmongers' ears
AWESOME lady. Knowledgeable. Brilliant. Firm. Fair. There to do her job and unafraid.
Children are children.
They are the epitome of innocence.
Thoughts and prayers to all the victims. ❤
Thank you, what a huge load on your shoulders. I have great respect for you. May your hard work and fearlessness bring endless blessings to you 👏🙏
An epic failure is right and the American government hold a lot of the responsibility for their warmongering in this. Both the Israeli government and Hamas have got to be held accountable for war crimes.
In my life time i am listening to the human right actor who is very honest , who speak truth without any fear. We love jews , they are very close to muslims and we are all abrahamic religion, we are friends but we donot support isreali occupation.
Indeed, Zionism is not Judaism
Real jews oppose zionists
You must demand good representation and Hamas isn't it.

Disgusting oppressive regime 😢
Actual evil.

Duh; free Palestine from Hamas and things would improve.
Thank you for speaking out Francesca, well done
Bravo Francesca ! Keep up your relentless commitment🙁
Medam Francesca P. Albanese ,You have done justice to humanity, you have done it today. You are the one who is reason for peace and some ease in the the heart of millions who are protesting in U.K ,U,S,A france and every corner of the earth against injustices and attacks on Palestinians , against occupation, opression etc. Salute .Long live the great Soul .
If those people can't live together anymore, the trust was destroyed, so what the solution? Can someone come up with one?
Hamas invaded Israel and murdered 1400 innocent civilians. They also beheaded about 40 babies, raped women, and took more than 200 hostages mostly children and the elderly into Gaza. Please note that Israel left Gaza in 2005. The people in Gaza were free to do whatever they wanted. Egypt has a border with Gaza, yet Egypt had a blockade on Gaza even before Israel occupied Gaza.
@@marccepeci2980you just confirmed the fact that the security guards don’t live in the same prison they built to lock the other human beings they intend to wipe out. Brilliant!
@@marccepeci2980 That Hamas committed heinous crimes is not in question and I know it's hard to reconsider your position when you have been on one path all of your life. Alas the beheading of 40 babies story was retracted by Israel after the source had been traced and confessed to exaggerating in the heat of the moment, nevertheless the lie served as useful propaganda for the IDF to use against Palestine. Continue to defend the indefensible if you feel you have to, continue to keep your conscience blinkered if you feel you have to, but please check out what these Israelis and Jews have to say first on the matter; Nurit Peled-Elhanan, Rabbi Dovid Weiss, Elan Pappe, Miko Peled, Dr. Gabor Mate, Norman Finkelstein and former IDF soldiers Avichai Sharon and Noam Chayut in AlternateFocus: Burning Conscience: Israeli Soldiers Speak Out.
@@marccepeci2980 You lose credibility when you parrot claims that have been proven untrue like " They also beheaded about 40 babies".
" Please note that Israel left Gaza in 2005." If I lock people up in a jail and go home, it does not mean I no longer occupy that jail.
"The people in Gaza were free to do whatever they wanted." Absolutely not true. They cannot leave Gaza, cannot import or export anything, cannot fish in their own waters, cannot marry another Palestinian not living in Gaza, cannot defend themselves with an army. All because Israel does not allow it.
"Nothing can justify". I couldn't agree more
Well done Francesca Albanese. Stand with facts for the betterment of the world.
The planet needs to see this. The last third of this video is the extremely important .
It takes bravery to do what she just did.
Notice how it's empty in there. Power being flexed until the end
The UN should of fixed this a long time ago before this happened!!
How is this evil allowed to persist against humanity for a second longer is beyond insanity.
Once upon a time Jews were considered Untermenschen, not worthy of being treated as human beings. This is a chilling repeat.
Yes,I feel sick and depressiv! I don't Unterstand how can so many people ,children suffer that much!! In the both Sides! So many Traumas!
Thank you for the truth
Brilliant answers by the UN. The israelis are not ready to listen!
Yeah, you do know that a huge group of flake freedom fighters, Israeli freedom fighters that were killed. And there are some that is still there
Thats what Hamas said as well
Thank you for protecting the human rights in this difficult time, i send you my best wishes to keep your courage up and defend it despite of the strong headwind!
This gracious Lady is a bright light in an ever-darkening world!
Francesca thank you telling the truth.
Thanks ma'am for understanding the true situation please stop war
I love this lady ❤. My full respect! 🕊
Francesca answered the questions honestly and convincingly. She has studied the problem to its very core.
No she didnot, she is very bias to the point of suspecting she is Antisemite.
Could it be that you only get that impression because you are seeing it from your own personal bias @@ushual ?
Zum KOTZEN this woman with her story UN. ANTISEMITISME.
@@ushualTelling Israel it cannot violate the human rights of Palestinians is not anti-Semitic.
@@ushualif you listen, she documented the 75 year long holocaust that the zionists have perpetrated against generations of innocent Palestinians on their ancestral lands, a holocaust far worse than that perpetrated against the Jewish people by the Nazis......
If you care about the human rights of some, but not of everyone, you don't actually care about human rights. 😢
“That does mean that the State of Israel has the obligation to defend its citizens. But it means that it must be done in accordance with international law, and the principles of necessity, reasonableness, proportionality, discrimination, precaution and so forth. And it's those principles and the observance of those principles that becomes the critical question. And that's the question that we are going to have to examine in the investigation that, as our chair has indicated, we've already announced.”
Israel is fighting not for human values but for the supremacy of the number of weapons. Where humanity is a victim.
As long the USA can use that veto , nothing will change there .
As a Buddhist Mongolian woman, I salute to this brave and the most intelligent woman!!!! She should be awarded a Noble Peace prize for bravely condemning Israeli's occupation and not taking any sides and diplomatic subtleties like the western countries and western media!!!!
Thank you for sharing your thought which is mine too ❤
U.S. military forces have been at war for all eight years of Obama's tenure and Obama was awarded 2009 Nobel peace prize🎉😂
no such thing as "palestine"
We are tired of condemnations. We need actions and enforcing the law on everyone . No one is above the law .
@@samp2651excuse me???
I'm so relieved to see this & I thank you united nations for being...for the people...all the people & the children who are suffering 🙏🏻😢
Madam you done justice for humanity
Thank you so much for your honesty and your determination to speak, to share the truth. You deserve enormous respect for the work you do.
This lady talks so much plain sense, very well said, I for one applaud you, well done!
wow this lady is some fresh air. never thought this lady would support and say so many facts. thank you lady.
Thank you for being one of the few international reps to speak truth and speak out for human rights and justice for all. The Palestinians have been marginalized for decades. The current sad situation is an issue of land dispossession, not religious war. And instigated and funded by the actions of western governments. Thank you for standing up for the truth.
Thank you Francesca for your hard work, deep analysis and reporting the truth to the world exactly what has already been said out loud and to the UN for decades by the Palestinian people. Their cries for help have fallen on international deaf ears. Many world leaders have turned a blind eye, some have even supported violence towards them. And then there are the cowards who sit on the fence and wish to stay “neutral”. The facts you stated are not anything many of us citizens of the world didn’t already know but they have needed to be said aloud since we are seeing the full vengeance and continued murder of Palestinians for the last 18 days now. As a Doctor I am horrified that the hospitals have now run out of energy and this can only described as mass murder. I want to ask the UN, what happens now? What actions will be taken if Israel do not stop, because it does not seem like they are stopping or influenced by the UN? What actions will the UN take to make them stop? And a very important question I have from the UK right now is, how and when will world leaders and governments be trialled in criminal courts for supporting the genocide of the Palestinian people by providing, essentially, weapons of mass destruction over them? There are one too many leaders who have stood up and said that "Israel has a right to defend itself". The citizens of the world - 7 billion of us - can clearly see that this is not defence at all. How will these war-mongers be treated alongside Israel for what can only be described as crimes against humanity for 75 years.
Total support for your comment.
@fahmidahmia
Bunch of facts, tq.
KEEP POSTING THIS!! FULL SUPPORT!! WE WANT THESE QUESTIONS ANSWERED!!
@@zj3451thank you, and we all need to keep posting and challenge our governments to stop this genocide and every killing of innocent people everywhere. We have to fight for the world we want to live in ❤
A woman with power and heart.
This was very informative and very well done thank you, for standing up for peace
Finally, the UN doing it's job!!!
We can see how intense she feel to answer all the questions, and we can see how sad shes facing what reality for Palestinian people. Bravo Francesca.
Bravo to Madam Francesca P. Albanese for your professionalism and courage in upholding the pivotal role of the UN which is justice and equity for all humanity. You have inspired me and many others to be hopeful for a peaceful solution between the civilian population of Palestinians and Jews.
Francesca Albanese, you peoples are the real hero's for the humanity. you will be in our prayers Always.
Anyone who criticizes the Israeli occupation will face sharp criticism from the Israeli government
You can't criticize Israels atrocities and war crimes against the Palestinian people for decades and are still happening as we speak, without being accused of anti semitism
Plus all western media!
If only!! You end up being called an antisemite.
Its the unfortunate truth
Which is why the UN must sanction Israel, ban their passports and deny them entry to any country, seize all israeli assets, after all that sort of thing has been precedented and used against Russia by western war criminals who did the coup in Ukraine and then supported the systematic genocide in Eastern Ukraine...
What goes around comes around as the old saying goes.
Perhaps if decent people in Israel arrested their war criminals and stopped the genocide of Palestinians ww3 could be avoided?
America also same responsible because america supply weapon to Israel
Thank you for the reasonableness, United Nations.
Humanitarian values are above any political interests. Any shady interests.
Peace
Thank you for speaking the truth it's REFRESHING
Thank you so much Francesca. You have my respect. Honesty and fairness always win at the end.
"But if your shock and distress comes only at the sight of certain brutalized bodies? If you speak out but not when Palestinian bodies are besieged and murdered, abducted and imprisoned? Then it is worth asking yourself which brutalization is acceptable to you, even quietly, even subconsciously, and which is not." Hala Alyan
Well said!
I really hope these words have value in our world. I give them huge value. It hurts mt heart, living 68 years with episodes of this at random. Im so sad for Palestinian people, especially last 18 years. I imagine how they feel and really hope they are given life, during my life.
i love this woman, she is everything we all should be
Except an effective presenter
@unggrabb that is your opinion which you are entitled to. I however do disagree respectfully

I commend you Francesca for standing bold and fierceful and showing the facts. Seems like all others are wearing diapers
It takes a lot of courage to say the truth at a moment like this. She is one of those Bravest!
Thank you Francesca for your fair, unbiased and fearlessly assessment of the root cause of the conflicts. Israel has occupied Palestinian land, when they are resistanting they're calling them terrorist. Who are terrorist?? You make your own decisions. We trust you and your fair work, well done UN
ISRAEL’S SO-CALLED RIGHT OF "SELF DEFENSE" IS A RED HERRING.
If you are the occupier/enslaver/prison warden (Israel), what right do you have to "SELF-DEFENSE" when your own prisoners/slaves (Palestinians) - forcibly being detained in a concentration camp/prison (Gaza), rebel? ... NONE... As occupier of stolen lands belonging to the killed parents of those you now imprison in Gaza, you have no right of self-defense! ... NONE... Furthermore, Israel's collective punishment of the entire prison population (Palestinians) patently violates moral and international law.
Furthermore, self defense is something you do when you are attacked, during an attack, towards the attacker. If someone mugs you on the street, you don’t follow them to their home, and then burn their house, children and wife. Crimes against humanity
Amen...
Israel has the Right to self-defense and is defending itself, a country that is at war with Hamas and still World leaders visiting Israel safely without any risk and but in Palestine , it's even risky for WHO and the Red Crescent to enter Gaza to provide humanitarian aid ,as in Gaza is there is no where safe due to Israeli air strikes. youtube will remove my comment
Gaza is not a concentration camp/prison. There was serious oppression but there were options. You should not listen to the one-sided propaganda, from either side that is.
The right to resist occupation or however the exact wording was does not mean the right to terrorize. Hamas has genuinely gone too far, so have the Israeli.
You are only considering one side of the story. Palestinians have Arab roots. Arabs have conducted many pogroms against the Jews too. And there have been wars against Israel. Both sides have genuine grievances for which both sides should be considerative towards each other.
You should relisting the following part:
[20:50] it's absolutely imperative that the International Community instead of acting in warmongering ...
The land was Ottoman Empire that dismantled, why Palestine think the land is them. Why make them entitled about the land that belonged to others. Maybe the Turks has more right in that lands than Palestine. They are remnants from Ottoman Empire.
Como ciudadano de este mundo mi apoyo total al sr Guterres su desempeño es correcto era necesario una postura de esta organizacion contra un miembro israel y como esta aplicando su politica exterior y su aliado norteamericano contrario a la posicion que ocupa en el concejo de seguridad permanente era necesario si es que se desea salvaguardar el ultimo bastion " de el entendimiento la ONU pero cierto es necesita una reforma estructural donde todos tengan el mismo peso" mas alla de su poder economico militar convivimos en un solo planeta.
This was a heartbreaking but well sad speech. What’s really eye-opening is the realization of how we’re always kept in the dark about things that are going on in the world and also makes you seriously wonder about history and what really happened. But as I said we’re always kept in the dark until something horrible happens and someone else brings it to light. Heartbreaking all around. One would hope that after all this time and almost at the year 2024 that the world would be more civilized.
History tells the truth.
*😊UN🇺🇳 must end Israel occupation in West Bank & Golan. UK🇬🇧 responsible in Palestine conflict. Balfour declaration issued by UK(1917), which announced for establishment "national home for Jewish people" in Palestine. At that time, Palestine was teritory Ottoman Empire & jews in Palestine were still minority.*
like hindus and muslims in india???
You mean the Golon heights when Egypt and Syria attacked Israel 1968 and lost.
Palestine never existed.
It was Ottaman Empire before British Rule.
Learn history it helps
Noted thanks..✍️
@@nholmes86in India Hindus and muslims are same people , We are one but ofcourse we may follow different faith but we love each other and we will fight any one even if they think to occupy our land .
@@paulkeable2941you just realize you just admitted Palestine did exist. Being under an empire doesn't mean it's people or the place didn't exist. That's like saying Manhattan doesn't exist because it's a borough within a city under federal states under 1 country.
We need women leaders in this world.
This is a factual position and situation of the present in circumstances , God bless you and use you to comply with better for the whole world
I really appreciate the guts and straight forward support of UN chief
Why is the 7th of October 2023 being seen as pivotal in Israel's aggression against the Palestinians?The attrocities keep rising everyday and the scale is alarming!

Thank you for giving a voice to the people without voice
Very well done by her. Kept it professional and factual.

That's very right. Sad justice must be served
Clearly,we see someone, who speaks with wisdom and unfoutunately so few journalists, interested really, on human rights.
Perhaps only will be able to understand, if children,women,man,ancients,were their own families or perhaps even not.......
Its really sad, that on the 21st Century, these politics and country governors act, as if they would never die.......but they will die,like everyone die... and their negative acts,will die with them, bringuing them lots of suffering.
In this degenerated times,we must be courageous,resiliente and very aware of everything.....we really have also to investigate.
Bravo Francesca,thank you so much,we need more human beings like you.
