Ireland advances measure to criminalizing trade with settlements
The upper house of Ireland’s parliament advances legislation that would criminalize the import of and trade with goods produced in the settlements.
The Control of Economic Activities (Occupied Territories) Bill 2018 passes a second reading by the Irish Senate, known as Seanad Éireann, with 25 “yes” votes and 20 “no” votes.
However, the bill must still pass additional legislative hurdles before it becomes law.
