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 proceeds at pace into its 2nd year.
My guest today is Francesca Albanese, an international lawyer who has been in the eye of the storm, speaking truth at the highest levels. Francesca specialises in international humanitarian law and is the special rapporteur for the UN reporting on Palestine.
As long as the world has righteous and extraordinary courageous man or women, one example is Francesca Albania’s, and few others, the hope that sooner or later the Justice will prevail and will be an international norm., again. Our younger generations are realizing it much better and they will be the torch bearers of it, irrespective of their ethnicity and religion. They will bring this change when they take the helms, wherever they are. The time is coming and it’s on the side of those who believe on Justice and Peace!
We just have to strive for it and remain steadfast like Francesca. Hats off to her courage and dignified personality and performance.
