UN Expert Says Firms 'Profiting' From 'Genocide' of Palestinians

GAZA AND OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES, JUL 3 – UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese urged states to impose arms embargoes and trade sanctions on Israel, citing over 60 corporations profiting from alleged genocide and occupation in Gaza.

  • On July 2, 2025, Law for Palestine co-organized a UN Human Rights Council event in Geneva addressing third states' economic responsibility related to the Israeli occupation and alleged genocide.
  • The event followed UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese's reports accusing Israel of genocide and naming over 60 companies profiting from military actions and settlements in Gaza and the occupied territories.
  • Speakers highlighted that holding accountable those responsible for violations requires extending beyond states to include corporations and third countries that support or benefit from the occupation, noting increasing judicial developments involving international bodies such as the ICJ and ICC concerning Israel’s conduct.
  • Albanese urged for a comprehensive arms embargo, the suspension of trade agreements, and legal accountability for companies involved, while the 2024 ICJ Advisory Opinion indicated that Israel could be responsible for acts constituting genocide.
  • The event highlighted the need for coordinated civil society and legal efforts to isolate Israel economically and politically to prevent further atrocities and support Palestinian leadership.
