Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Discussion
Mr. Oliver Gilvarry:
We have to see. If the Bill progresses, our view is that there will be significant amendments. As I have said, we have sought advice and following that have reached a number of conclusions. One point is that we have to ensure the legislation takes into account fair procedure, property rights and reputational rights. We have to build amendments in to ensure they would be reflected. We can go into further detail, but relying on the UN list, which even it says has no legal or quasi-legal framework, and is not being imposed on contracting states, would require us to build our own list.
