“This is apartheid”: an interview with outgoing UN human rights official Michael Lynk

When Canadian human rights lawyer Michael Lynk ended his term as the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of Human Rights in the Palestinian territories on May 1 he left a series of reports and statements laying out the realities of Israeli apartheid. Now in an extended interview with Mondoweiss, Lynk describes the process that led to his apartheid declarations, and what steps the international community can take to force Israel to abandon its “fever-dream of settler-colonialism.”
