From Rwanda to Gaza: Navi Pillay on proving genocide | Expert Witness

The chair of the UN’s commission of inquiry on Israel and Palestine Navi Pillay speaks to Middle East Eye’s Sondos Asem about her latest report, which concluded that Israel has committed genocide against the Palestinian people. A former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Pillay also served as president of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and a founding judge of the International Criminal Court. In this episode of the Expert Witness podcast, Pillay explains the legal standards behind the UN’s findings, including genocidal intent, and the role of world powers in enabling ongoing violations. She also reflects on her decades-long fight for justice, from Rwanda’s genocide trials to apartheid South Africa and the ongoing atrocities in Gaza, warning that the international community has “failed the Palestinian people.” 00:00 Introduction 01:53 Why the UN commission accuses Israel of genocide 09:03 Why is Gaza different? 12:43 How to prove genocidal intent? 17:06 Sexual violence as genocide 21:50 Intimidation and threats 23:42 Trump’s Gaza plan 27:35 Is the UK complicit? 35:05 ICC sanctions on Francesca Albanese 38:56 Slow justice 42:31 Personal journey and lessons learnt Support stories that matter.
