UN Human Rights Office Updates Database of Businesses Linked to Illegal Israeli Settlements

On Friday the 26th of September, 2025, the United Nations Human Rights Office updated its database of businesses involved in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.

This update was mandated by the UN Human Rights Council, and the database now contains a total of 158 business, from across 11 countries, which are engaged in:

1) The supply of equipment and materials that facilitate the construction and maintenance of illegal settlements.

2) The demolition of houses and property of Palestinians

3) Surveillance activities

4) The use of natural resources for business purposes

5) The pollution and dumping of waste in Palestinian villages

The Office reports that businesses subject to screening were informed of allegations against them, and were invited to provide relevant information regarding these, before it applied a methodology (based on the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights) designed to assess the responses and information received.
