Three years after October 7, 2023, Alice Jill Edwards, who served as the UN special rapporteur on torture, reveals in an interview with i24NEWS what she describes as an atmosphere of intimidation and anti-Israel obsession within the organization. According to her, there is a single point of view in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which harms the chances for peace. She testifies that she has not seen attempts by her colleagues to speak with Israelis who suffered atrocities in the Hamas attack, and accuses the special rapporteurs to the UN for the occupied territories and for violence against women of not issuing a report on Hamas crimes. Edwards clarifies that she belongs to no side but the truth, and that the UN must act with integrity.
