Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Ronnie Downes:

When we are having regard to some of those qualitative human rights and international criteria, we take our lead and guidance from the Department of Foreign Affairs, which is the expert on those issues. On the Deputy's specific question on whether we rule out companies without regard to the other criteria just on the basis of what the country is, it is fair to say that the answer is "No". We do not rule out a country just because of what the country is.
