Richard Anderson Falk (born November 13, 1930)[1] is an American professor emeritus of international law at Princeton University.[2] He is the author or co-author of 20 books and the editor or co-editor of another 20 volumes,[3]
In 2008, the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) appointed Falk to a six-year term as a United Nations Special Rapporteur on "the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967."[4] Since his appointment he has been subjected to vicious criticism by US ambassador Susan Rice, various Israeli politicians and Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon for his positions on the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
