Special Rapporteur

Current Work as Special Rapporteur
[edit]One of the first major events during her tenure as Special Rapporteur was the killing of Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian-American journalist who was shot and killed by the Israeli Defense Forces. Albanese condemned the killing, calling it a "serious violation of international humanitarian law."[2]
Albanese published her first report as rapporteur for the UN Human Rights Council's 50th session.
