At the 23rd Nelson Mandela Foundation Annual Conference in Johannesburg, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, drew parallels between the situation in Gaza and Nelson Mandela\u2019s struggle against apartheid. She emphasized that the injustices born of colonialism remain a global moral failure, asserting that the Palestinian cause today symbolizes the universal struggle for justice.<\/p>\n
