联合国人权办公室将61家公司新增至黑名单，指控其通过与以色列在约旦河西岸定居点的商业联系参与侵犯巴勒斯坦人权2。这次更新使黑名单总规模达到214家公司，来自11个国家，其中绝大多数为以色列企业2。去年列入的158家公司中有5家被移除2。
联合国人权事务主管沃尔克·图尔克表示，"这份报告提醒各公司它们有人权责任，应进行尽职调查以确保不涉及人权侵犯"2。黑名单自2020年首次发布以来，一直是追问与以色列定居点相关企业的工具2。
以色列外交团对此表示反对，称"这个数据库旨在作为反对未犯任何过错企业的黑名单"2。与此同时，多个西方国家也在采取行动。本月早些时候，英国禁止与以色列占领区定居点贸易，法国和加拿大宣布采取类似行动2。
The United Nations has added 61 companies to its blacklist for alleged involvement in business activities linked to Israeli settlements in the West Bank.12 The UN Human Rights Office accusations focus on these firms' commercial connections to settlement operations, which the organization contends violate Palestinian human rights.2
The expanded list now comprises a total of 214 companies from 11 countries, with the vast majority being Israeli enterprises.2 Among the previously listed 158 companies added last year, five have been removed from the roster.2 The blacklist was first published in 2020.2 UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk stated that "this report is a reminder to companies of their human rights responsibilities and the need to conduct due diligence to ensure they are not involved in human rights violations."2
Israel's diplomatic mission has rejected the designation, characterizing the database as "a blacklist aimed at companies that have committed no wrongdoing."2 The Israeli government denies the allegations against the listed firms.1 The timing coincides with recent international action on settlements: earlier this month, the United Kingdom announced a ban on trade with settlements in the occupied territories, while France and Canada announced they would pursue similar measures.2
