Francesca Albanese says Israel has violated three of the five acts listed under the UN Genocide Convention Including: Killing members of a specific group, causing serious bodily or mental harm, and deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole and in part.
She also found that genocidal acts were approved and given effect after statements of genocidal intent by senior Israeli military and government officials.
These acts, Albanese argues, are part of a 'settler-colonial process of erasure' - which has been underway for more than 70 years.
She recommends - among other things - an immediate arms embargo on Israel.
And for member states to support South Africa in its attempt to prosecute Israel at the International Court of Justice.
