UN Blacklists 68 Companies Over Settlement Rights Violations
The UN has added nearly 70 companies to its blacklist for allegedly supporting Israeli settlements in the West Bank, highlighting concerns over human rights violations and international law. The list now includes 158 companies from various countries, mainly involved in construction, real estate, and related sectors, with some companies removed and others added. The move aims to pressure businesses and governments to prevent complicity in rights abuses amid ongoing Israeli-Palestinian tensions.
