Oxford City Council has agreed to boycott and divest from companies which are linked to war crimes and violations of international law.

A motion from the Oxford Community Independents called for the council to stop investing in and trading with companies which are implicated in state violence and oppression, war and occupation, and grave violations of human rights, as well as companies involved in using fossil fuels.

Will that include US companies that are backing the current administration and its oppression of its people though, or just when it’s not too inconvenient?

Okay this would be many, many companies at the moment.
