Over and over during the war in Gaza, we have seen how coordinated campaigns seek to discredit and silence those who speak out about human rights impacts & violations of international humanitarian law.

The latest attacks on Francesca Albanese ¡ª an independent expert mandated by UNHRC to monitor the situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory ¡ª aim at silencing her voice and undermining the few remaining independent human rights reporting mechanisms.

How we act in the face of fake news and vicious disinformation campaigns is a sign of our moral compass.
