Francesca Albanese is a beacon of courage, integrity, and international law. As the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, she has tirelessly documented violations of human rights in one of the world’s longest and most brutal occupations. Her work has exposed unlawful killings, displacement, systemic apartheid, and—most recently—what she identifies as acts of genocide in Gaza. The communities she defends—Palestinian civilians living under occupation and bombardment—are among the most impacted and voiceless in global politics.

At great personal risk, Ms. Albanese has spoken truth to power. She has been the target of smear campaigns, sanctions, and political attacks. Yet she has never wavered in calling for justice and accountability. Her groundbreaking reports include:

📄 “Occupation, Colonialism and Apartheid” (A/77/356)
📄 “An Obstruction to Justice” (A/HRC/53/25)
📄 “Anatomy of a Genocide” (A/HRC/55/73)

If her voice is silenced or ignored, the consequences reach far beyond Palestine. We risk normalizing the persecution of human rights defenders, enabling further atrocities, and weakening the moral authority of international law. Awarding Francesca Albanese the Nobel Peace Prize would not only recognize her personal courage and legal brilliance — it would affirm that the world still values accountability, truth, and peace grounded in justice.

The time to act is now.

With the crisis in Gaza escalating, international norms under threat, and peace advocates under attack, global citizens must rally to support those who speak out. Ms. Albanese’s nomination for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize — initiated by MEP Aodhán Ó Ríordáin — deserves urgent global backing.

By signing this petition, you are standing for peace, international law, and the protection of those who risk everything to uphold human dignity. Together, we can send a clear message to the Nobel Committee: justice matters — and those who fight for it must not stand alone.
