UN Adds More Companies to Settlement List
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has added 61 new companies to its database of companies linked to settlements in the occupied West Bank, bringing the total number of listed companies to 214. These companies operate in sectors such as energy, food, transportation, agriculture, and services, and are listed based on confidential evidence and criteria relating to their involvement in activities supporting settlements, such as funding, supplying equipment, construction, and settlement protection. The policies focus on the companies' involvement in activities that could harm the Palestinian economy, destroy property, and exploit resources. The OHCHR emphasized that these updates are part of follow-up to a resolution by the UN Human Rights Council, amid criticism from Israel, which described the mechanism as a "distorted tool," in the context of rising tensions and settlement expansion in Palestinian territories.
