What companies made it into Francesca Albanese’s report?

Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, tabled her report From economy of occupation to economy of genocide in July.

Albanese noted in her address presenting the report to the UN’s fifty-ninth session that the forty organisations she mentions are “just the tip of the iceberg illustrative of the system that entangles many many more”.

That being the case, we’ve been conducting a deep dive into the organisations she presented to understand the icebergs under the water that these forty represent.

Over the coming weeks we’ll be presenting our deep dive into what Albanese’s findings mean for us as individuals, community members, citizens, and consumers.

As these are published, we will update and link to them from this article.
