The legal letter claims BP has violated the UN guiding principles on business and human rights, as well as the prohibition of complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity under customary international law and obligations under its own policies, which require BP to avoid contributing to human rights abuses. A UN commission has found that Israel has committed war crimes during the conflict in Gaza. The UN general assembly has also approved resolutions demanding an immediate ceasefire. At least 42,000 people have been killed in the conflict.
