Reports on corporate complicity can be useful for informing public debate : Analysis
While international law has thus far failed to restrain Israel’s actions in Gaza, reports such as that by Albanese about the use of technology in possible war crimes could be used by rights groups seeking to hold companies that help supply Israeli forces responsible, a human rights lawyer tells Al Jazeera.
“Her report provides ammunition for nongovernmental organisations to be persuasive because companies don’t want to get a bad reputation as being a criminal company,” Geoffrey Nice said.
“They want the money a great deal, and as long as they’re not going to be at risk of losing their reputation, they’ll probably go ahead and get it, but if their reputation is going to go down with the public, who is very frightened about events around the world involving wars and breaches of the laws of conflict, they’ll run away from that.”
