Background
Successive UK governments have held the position that settlements in territories deemed occupied under international law are illegal. We believe such settlement enterprises entail serious breaches of peremptory norms of international law. We believe the UK’s failure to ban all trade and investment activities by UK-based businesses with illegal settlements could be contrary to the UK’s obligated duties under international law.
