Legal experts have offered opinions on the validity and obligation of trade measures to #StopSettlements. While some countries have already introduced legislation to prohibit trade with illegal settlement enterprises, others are still working on legislation.
The #StopSettlements network supports governments and organizations in their understanding of the obligation to stop trade with settlements and helps them prepare supporting materials, including official bills.
Below, we present legal tools and resources that provide a framework for the viability and implementation of these laws under local, European Union and international trade, economic and human rights law. We also present materials that are specific to the illegal Israeli settlements in Occupied Palestine.
