UN Rights Office Issues List of Companies It Says Have Ties to Jewish Communities in West Bank
(Reuters) Stephanie Nebehay - The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, issued a report on Wednesday on companies it said have business ties to Jewish communities in the West Bank. It identified 112 business entities - 94 in Israel and 18 from six other countries including the U.S., Britain and France. Bachelet's spokesman, Rupert Colville, said it was "not a blacklist, nor does it qualify any companies' activities as illegal."
