日内瓦，9月25日——联合国人权事务高级专员办事处周五发布了一份名单，将在以色列约旦河西岸定居点运营的61家公司新增列入其中，联合国认为这些定居点属于非法。
GENEVA, Sept 25 - The United Nations human rights office issued a list on Friday adding 61 more companies operating in Israeli West Bank settlements, which the global body considers illegal.
该数据库极为敏感，因为这些企业可能面临抵制或撤资，以施压以色列停止在该领土上的定居点扩张，该地区居住着超过300万巴勒斯坦人。
The database is highly sensitive as firms could be targeted for boycotts or divestment to pressure Israel over settler expansion in the territory that is home to over 3 million Palestinians.
该数据库于2020年首次发布，现已包含214家公司，主要来自以色列，但也包括来自法国、德国、中国和美国等其他10个国家的企业。
The database, first released in 2020, now includes 214 firms, mostly from Israel, but also from 10 other countries including France, Germany, China and the US. Newly added firms included Israeli pesticides maker ADAMA, part of Chinese-owned Syngenta Group, Israel-based real estate investment holding company Alony Hetz and Spain's Salvat Logistica.
新增企业包括以色列农药制造商ADAMA（隶属于中国拥有的先正达集团）、以色列房地产投资控股公司Alony Hetz以及西班牙的Salvat Logistica。
They joined companies such as travel agency Expedia and home-rental company Airbnb already on the list.
它们加入了已在名单上的在线旅游代理Expedia和房屋租赁公司Airbnb等企业行列。
Israel, which views the West Bank as disputed rather than occupied, has previously said the list unfairly vilifies companies working legally.
以色列视约旦河西岸为有争议领土而非被占领土，此前曾表示该名单不公平地诋毁合法运营的公司。
"This is a distorted mechanism — created by a deeply flawed body with an automatic majority against Israel," Israel's diplomatic mission said on Friday, alleging that the database was establish to "persecute" the Jewish state.
以色列外交使团周五表示：“这是一个扭曲的机制——由一个严重有缺陷、自动形成反以色列多数的机构创建。”并指责该数据库的建立是为了“迫害”犹太国家。
There has been a surge in settler attacks against Palestinians as outposts proliferate, prompting Britain, France and Canada to block imports from settlements this month.
随着前哨基地增多，定居者针对巴勒斯坦人的袭击激增，促使英国、法国和加拿大本月禁止从定居点进口商品。
The UN rights office assessed companies active in a group of sectors including energy, food, hospitality, transport and agriculture, based on confidential submissions to the UN rights office.
联合国人权办根据提交给该办的机密材料，评估了在能源、食品、酒店、运输和农业等一组领域活跃的公司。
Another 60 or so companies were assessed but not included since they did not meet the UN criteria of involvement in activities that violate the Palestinian right to self-determination.
另有约60家公司经过评估但未被列入，因为它们不符合联合国关于参与侵犯巴勒斯坦人自决权活动的标准。
Examples include supplying demolition equipment to destroy Palestinian buildings, provision of surveillance for settlements and other services like transport that help maintain their existence, according to the UN website.
根据联合国网站介绍，例子包括：提供拆除设备以摧毁巴勒斯坦建筑、为定居点提供监控，以及提供运输等其他有助于维持定居点存在的服务。
Examples include supplying demolition equipment to destroy Palestinian buildings, provision of surveillance for settlements and other services like transport that help maintain their existence, according to the UN website.
其他公司，如英国在线旅游公司Opodo和西班牙在线旅游代理商eDreams，在提交重新评估请求后已从原名单中移除。
Other companies, like British-ed online travel company Opodo and Spanish-domiciled online travel agent eDreams, have been dropped from the original list after submitting a reassessment request.
联合国认定，有合理理由相信它们不再从事之前导致其被列入名单的活动。
The UN found that there were reasonable grounds to believe they were no longer involved in the activities that previously justified their inclusion.
eDreams去年表示已撤回，并将继续屏蔽以色列非法定居点的住宿信息，称部分信息在房东上传后自动出现在其网站上。巴勒斯坦人希望约旦河西岸成为未来独立家园的一部分。
eDreams said last year it had withdrawn and would continue to block listings of accommodation in illegal Israeli settlements, saying that some had appeared on its website automatically after owners uploaded them. Palestinians want the West Bank to be part of a future independent homeland.
但总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡领导的民族主义政府在很大程度上支持定居者，自2023年10月激进组织哈马斯袭击以色列及随后的加沙战争以来，建设活动大幅增加。
But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's nationalist government has largely backed settlers, with building ramped up since the militant Hamas group's attack on Israel in October 2023 and the ensuing Gaza war.
旅游公司Expedia此前表示，其所谓"争议地区"的房源信息已明确标注，符合国际法律和制裁规定，并接受联合国标准指导下的强化尽职调查。
Travel firm Expedia has previously said that the listings in what it called "disputed areas" were clearly labelled, complied with international laws and sanctions and undergo enhanced due diligence guided by UN standards.
