Portuguese Constitution gives "specific meaning to obligations" with Palestine, says UN special rapporteur

RTP Notícias2 September 2026 at 08:20

Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, argues that Portugal must interpret its obligations regarding Palestine through the lens of its own Constitution, attributing specific meaning to these constitutional obligations.

The rapporteur rejects that the Peace Committee proposed by Donald Trump can replace the role of the United Nations in the Palestinian question, rejecting any attempt to marginalize the international organization in this process.

Albanese calls on Portugal and other UN member states to honor their constitutional and legal obligations regarding the recognition and support of the State of Palestine. The rapporteur's position comes at a time when the future of the peace process in the Middle East and the role of different international bodies in resolving the conflict are being discussed.

The local mayor expressed his regret that health professionals consider it easier to move approximately 1,700 patients to the health center rather than for them to travel two or three times a week to the health posts in various parishes, whose services have since closed.
