In the present report, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the
Palestinian territories occupied since 1967 investigates the corporate machinery sustaining
the Israeli settler-colonial project of displacement and replacement of the Palestinians in the
occupied territory. While political leaders and Governments shirk their obligations, far too
many corporate entities have profited from the Israeli economy of illegal occupation,
apartheid and now genocide. The complicity exposed by the report is just the tip of the
iceberg; ending it will not happen without holding the private sector accountable, including
its executives. International law recognizes varying degrees of responsibility – each requiring
scrutiny and accountability, particularly in this case, where a people’s self-determination and
very existence are at stake. This is a necessary step to end the genocide and dismantle the
global system that has allowed it.
