Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Discussion

Mr. Oliver Gilvarry:

We have not found anywhere that has relied on the UN list or, as I said, put the UN list into primary legislation. There have been examples in Sweden. One of its sovereign wealth funds has engaged with certain companies, rather than it having primary legislation or a list. We are aware of the actions in New Zealand in the context of its superannuation fund and some Israeli banks. There has not been reliance on primary legislation or a UN list. There has been engagement with specific firms on specific issues.
