UN adds 61 companies to settlements blacklist over Palestinian rights
Original: UN adds 61 companies to settlements blacklist over alleged Palestinian rights violations
The United Nations has published an updated blacklist naming 61 companies it says are involved in activities in Israeli settlements that violate Palestinian human rights. The list, maintained by the UN Human Rights Council, identifies firms for business operations linked to the occupied territories. The move is expected to draw criticism from Israel and the United States, while rights groups welcome greater corporate accountability.
Why now: The UN's publication of an updated blacklist of companies over settlement-linked activities is a contentious, highly political step drawing international reactions.
