Working for a just peace in Israel and Palestine
As a means of pursuing peace and the common good of Israelis and Palestinians,
the 2004 General Assembly instructed the MRTI to start
a process of "phased
selective divestment" consistent with General Assembly policy on responsible
investing.
The process aims to change corporate behavior so that it supports a just and
peaceful resolution to conflict. One example of this process is MRTI's conversations
with corporations that have been identified as contributing to the ongoing violence
that plagues Israel and Palestine.
