Unscripted - Craig Mokhiber

This episode is an interview with Craig Gerard Mokhiber, a former rights official who previously penned a widely read letter criticizing the UN's human rights failures, warning of genocide in Gaza.

A human rights activist in the 1980s, he would go on to serve for more than three decades at the United Nations, with postings in Switzerland, Palestine, Afghanistan, and UN Headquarters in New York, undertaking dozens of human rights missions to countries across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.

In October 2023, he left the United Nations, penning a widely read letter criticizing the UN’s human rights failures in the Middle East, warning of unfolding genocide in Gaza, and calling for a new approach to Palestine and Israel based on international law, human rights, and equality.
