In this Reboot Republic podcast, Rory and Tony, talk to Professor Balakrishnan Rajagopal, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing, a lawyer by training, he is an expert on many areas of human rights. He outlines how Israel is committing genocide and war crimes in its attacks on the civilian population and infrastructure in Gaza. He also explains that there is more the UN can do to put pressure on Israel, such as the UN General Assembly ‘unseating’ Isreal, putting an embargo on arms to Isreal, and implementing the Uniting for peace resolution to get a ceasefire. We also discuss the loss of home and domicide (the destruction of home) in Gaza, and the trauma of homeloss, the growing public international community outcry for peace. We also discuss the wider global affordable housing crisis, and legalizing a right to housing as a challenge to the neoliberal commodification of housing.
