The UN Human Rights Office today issued an update to its database of businesses involved in certain activities in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory, listing a total of 158 business enterprises from 11 countries. The report was mandated by the UN Human Rights Council, and today’s release updates the database that was first issued in 2020, then updated in 2023. The UN Human Rights Office had received submissions concerning 596 businesses following a public call for input in 2024. The companies covered by the 2025 update focus primarily on business activities related to construction, real estate, mining and quarrying. The report calls on companies to “take appropriate action to address the adverse human rights impacts” of their activities.
