Omschrijving

'Albanese has spoken truth with unflinching clarity in a world largely silent in the face of a holocaust, carrying out her mandate with integrity and defiance that honours both the law and the human conscience. This book is a formidable indictment of injustice and demonstrates what it means to stand alone against power' -- Susan Abulhawa, author of Against the Loveless World

'Albanese is perhaps the one figure of our times that future historians will recall as the one who did the most to redeem our generation from its guilt over the genocide of the Palestinian people. Her reflections in this book are not just timely - they are for the ages' -- Yanis Varoufakis

Foreword by Richard Falk, John Dugard, and Michael Lynk

Israel's genocide in Palestine and the complicity of powerful Western states are undermining international human rights and the UN system. The United States has imposed sanctions on lawyers, UN experts, and Palestinian officials in an attempt to bully and intimidate them into silence. One prominent example is UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese, who has played an essential role in documenting Israel's atrocities and those who profit from its oppression of Palestinians.

A Moon Will Rise from the Darkness compiles Albanese's indispensable and damning reports on Israel's conduct in Palestine since October 2023. First outlining the case that this period should be understood as a genocide, Albanese goes on to explain how the ongoing violence fits into a more extended history of settler colonialism, and finally presents a devastating indictment against the international corporations that treat mass killing and destruction as a business opportunity.

The volume also features a reflection by Albanese on the current state of affairs, revelations by her predecessors -- Richard Falk, John Dugard, and Michael Lynk -- of their experiences as UN special rapporteurs, and a preface by Lex Takkenberg, a 30-year veteran of UNRWA, co-authored with scholar Mandy Turner.
