The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NC), along with human rights advocates and interfaith communities across North Carolina are calling on the North Carolina community to urge Secretary Marshall and Attorney General Jackson to open a formal investigation into UG Solutions LLC (UG) for alleged violations of the Federal War Crimes Act, 18 U.S.C. § 2441(d), and other unlawful business practices. UG, acting in concert with Israeli military forces and other security contractors, allegedly openly and indiscriminately fired on humanitarian aid seekers at GHF-operated “distribution sites,” where at least 1,000 people have been killed.

CAIR-NC is calling on residents across the state to join in urging Secretary Marshall and Attorney General Jackson to open an investigation into UG Solutions LLC and ensure that companies registered in North Carolina are held accountable for alleged violations of law and human rights.
“Companies incorporated in North Carolina must not be complicit in war crimes or human rights abuses abroad,” said Al Rieder, Manager of CAIR-NC. “The evidence that a North Carolina-based company allegedly participated in attacks on starving civilians in Gaza is horrifying. We are urging the state’s top officials to uphold the law and ensure that North Carolina is not used as a base for operations that contribute to the suffering of innocent people.”
