U.S. Trying to Prevent UN 'Blacklist' of Companies Working in Israeli Settlements

Caterpillar, Priceline.com, TripAdvisor and Airbnb are said to be among the American companies on the list, report says
The U.S. government is fighting against the creation of a database that identifies international companies working in the settlements, according to a report from the Washington Post.
Diplomatic sources told the Washington Post that the U.S. is working against the UN Human Rights Commission's resolution, which passed in March of last year and is to be published before the end of this year, saying that the list is the first step towards anti-Israel boycotts.
Senior U.S. officials declined to provide details regarding which companies are included in the most recent draft. However, sources involved in compiling the list said that Caterpillar, Priceline.com, TripAdvisor and Airbnb are among the American companies included. The list has yet to be completed, and is being compiled by the UN Commission on Human Rights based in in Geneva.
UN high commissioner for human rights, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, told U.S. officials that he plans to publish the list by the end of the year. Zeid, a Jordanian diplomat who served as ambassador to the U.S. in the past, has previously accepted requests from the U.S. to postpone the process. However, the report cites unnamed diplomats from other counties saying that Zeid intends to proceed with the list.
