Alfred de Zayas is a law professor at the Geneva School of Diplomacy and served as a UN Independent Expert on International Order 2012-18. He is the author of twelve books including Building a Just World Order.
He recently wrote the piece “Action by the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly to Stop the Genocide of Palestinians“: “On 9 September 2025, the 80th session of the UN General Assembly opens amidst growing threats to international peace and security, particularly in the Middle East, where a genocide against the Palestinian people is being committed by Israel, with the complicity of the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany and other countries that continue to give military, economic, political, diplomatic and propagandistic support to the genocidal State. This must stop. The GA must call for an immediate arms embargo and adopt pertinent resolutions on the ‘Uniting for Peace’ precedents.”
