The Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, formally the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967,[1] is a special rapporteur who works for the United Nations and reports on the human rights situation in Palestine ("the occupied Palestinian territories"). The mandate was established in 1993 by the former Commission on Human Rights.[2] The special rapporteur typically submits two reports annually, one to the Human Rights Council in Geneva and another to the General Assembly in New York City.[3]
Francesca Albanese was appointed in 2022 as the first woman to become Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories.[1][4]
