Support for the candidacy of Francesca Albanese at the Nobel Peace
This meeting was an opportunity for the UGTT to reaffirm its commitment to the Palestinian cause and to officially express its support for the candidacy of Francesca Albanese at the Nobel Peace Prize.
The rapporteur praised this initiative and thanked the union organization for his support and for her constant solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Francesca Albanese, whose work is recognized on the international scene for the defense of human rights, underlined the importance of union and citizen mobilization in the fight for justice and self -determination.
Noureddine Taboubi, for his part, recalled the position of the UGTT, faithful to his historical role as defender of the just and universal causes.
The Tunisian union center, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2015 with the national dialogue quartet, continues to get involved in major international causes.
This support for Francesca Albanese is a continuation of an assertive commitment to Palestine and for the defense of the rights of peoples.
Who is Francesca Albanese?
Francesca Albanese is the author of a very critical relationship, in which she calls into question the role of several multinationals which, according to her, directly or indirectly support military activities and Israeli colonization in the Palestinian territories.
She denounces in particular financial ties to the Israeli army and calls for international criminal responsibility for those who feed, in her words, “the occupation and apartheid system”.
Albanese also supports the steps taken by the International Criminal Court (ICC) aimed at pursuing Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister, for war crimes in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank.
The Italian lawyer, appointed in 2022 by the UN Human Rights Council, is regularly targeted by pro-Israeli circles, who accuse her of partiality. His reports, documented but often virulent, propelled her at the heart of many controversies, especially after Israeli bombings on Rafah and the prolonged seat of Gaza.
