In June 2025, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) Francesca Albanese published a report highlighting the role of private entities in Israel's occupation and unfolding genocide in Gaza.

"After October 2023, long-standing systems of control, exploitation and dispossession metamorphosed into economic, technological and political infrastructures mobilized to inflict mass violence and immense destruction...Entities that previously enabled and profited from Palestinian elimination and erasure within the economy of occupation, instead of disengaging are now involved in the economy of genocide."

Following the publication of the report the US administration imposed sanctions on Albanese on June 9 in an unprecedented move towards a UN Special Rapporteur. The sanctions were allegedly due to her engagement in “lawfare” targeting US and Israeli persons.

In response, UN Special Procedures condemned the sanctions as an attack on human rights and the UN system, reaffirming its support for Albanese’s mandate and commitment to accountability.

The report names 48 corporate actors, including US tech giants Microsoft, Alphabet Inc. – Google’s parent company – and Amazon.
