On 23 March 2026, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, Francesca Albanese, presented her latest report to the UN Human Rights Council during its 61st session.
The report examines Israel’s systematic use of torture against Palestinians since 7 October 2023, and illustrates how it functions as a “structural feature of the ongoing Israeli genocide and broader settler-colonial apartheid”.
Dr Browne's published research on the coloniality of enforced starvation (available here) is cited several times in the report.
