UN expert welcomes decision by Dutch firm to pull out of illegal Israeli settlement (Israel & Palestine)

A United Nations independent expert...welcomed the decision by the Dutch company Royal HaskoningDHV to end its contract with the Jerusalem municipality, which would require the firm to build a wastewater treatment plant that would service illegal Israeli settlements. “The sewage treatment facility would have served to further entrench Israel’s annexation of East Jerusalem, now universally considered to be a violation of international law and United Nations resolutions,” said the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, Richard Falk. “It is encouraging that international corporations are taking corporate social responsibility seriously and weighing the legal consequences, financial costs and reputational risks of involvement in the maintenance and expansion of illegal Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine.”
