International human rights advocates urge businesses to persist in their delivery of weaponry and ammunition to Israel.
Autonomous UN human rights advocates have raised red flags towards corporations persisting in armament supply to Israel. They suggest potential complicity in human rights abuses, even crimes against humanity, these advocates asserted in Geneva on a Thursday. They've identified more than 30 companies and financiers allegedly investing in weapons production, such as German enterprises Rheinmetall and ThyssenKrupp, and the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach Foundation.
"Corporations delivering weapons, components, parts, and ammunition to the Israeli military may be implicated if there are significant violations of international human rights legislation and humanitarian law," the advocates penned down. They alluded to the International Court of Justice's demand for Israel to discontinue its military aggression in Rafah and the International Criminal Court's appeal for arrest warrants against Israeli government members. Consequently, ongoing shipments of weapons to Israel can be seen as knowingly backing operations that breach international human rights law and humanitarian law.
