UN adds 61 firms to settlements blacklist over rights abuses
Original: UN adds 61 firms to settlements blacklist over alleged human rights violations against Palestinians
The United Nations has added 61 companies to its blacklist of firms operating in Israeli settlements, citing alleged human rights violations against Palestinians. The update to the database of businesses engaged in activities in the occupied territories is expected to draw sharp reactions from Israel and its allies, while rights groups have long pressed for firms to be held accountable for operations in the settlements.
Why now: The UN's decision to significantly expand its settlements blacklist is a contentious move likely to spark diplomatic backlash and debate over corporate accountability in the occupied territories.
