The world of nations is well served by courageous United Nations personnel who speak truth so that the quest for justice and finally lasting peace may liberate the oppressed and the oppressors of the world.

Francesca Albanese  is the UN's special rapporteur re Palestine and for her distinguished efforts she has just been sanctioned by the Secretary of State of the United States Marco Rubio for her steadfast reporting on the state of affairs in Palestine.   Demonizing truth-tellers is the vile habit of dictators - biblically and politically.

Because her reports refuse to take the ready-made State of Israel and USA version of dis-information about the situation in Palestine, its author is being intimidated and punished for speaking truth.   

For most people, the reputations of neither Marco Rubio nor DJ Trump inspires confidence in any of their statements.    Neither has demonstrated a capacity for understanding the complexities of their roles, nor have they shown themselves to be purveyors of truth and factual evidence to warrant trust in their witness.  (Netanyahu may nominate Trump for the Nobel peace prize, but both are known for their mendacity and their disregard of laws and human beings.)

Madame Albanese, on the other hand, has provided convincing and definitive evidence to buttress all her judgements about the apartheid and genocide which Israel, with armaments supplied by USA and other Western co-conspirators, is perpetrating.   She has struggled faithfully to let international law, objectivity, and truth be known world-wide.

The evidence is daunting but the point in this post is to thank and honour Francesca Albanese for her persistent, evidence based, factual reporting of the horror oppressing the Palestinian people and the erasure of so much Palestinian life and culture.  In seeking to honour her, we are, at the same time honouring the United Nations as an essential international organization for the heavy task of fostering peace and justice in the world of nations.

If you value the truth and faithfulness which Francesca Albanese brings to her justice and peace building role, please, consider recommending to the Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize Committee that Francesca Albanese be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2026.   The deadline for nominations is January 31, 2026 - but don't wait till then to write. 

Write your recommendation for 2026 to:      [email protected].

[The  deadline for the 2025 Peace prize was January 31, 2025.  There are 338 candidates for this year, of whom 244 are individuals and 94 organizations.   The 2025 laureate's name  will be announced on October 10th and the prize presented on December 10, 2025.]
