We are publishing, under a Creative Commons license, a Research Note that brings together, for the first time, investment data from seven leading Swiss financial players in four US “allies and assets” companies and key ICE service providers: Palantir, AT&T, Geo Group, and CoreCivic.
From the perspective of the commercial and financial practices in which they operate, these companies participate in the “value chain” of surveillance and deportation of migrants in the US, but also in the “chaos” operating on a more global scale.
The investors are: UBS, Swiss National Bank (SNB), Zurich Cantonal Bank (ZKB), Pictet, Lombard Odier, Swiss Life, and Zurich Insurance. In doing so, they are violating the human rights rules they themselves have set and undermining the interests of the Swiss population.
We consider it essential to explore and question the reasons, modes of action, and perspectives of the oligarchic, extractivist, and reactionary wave currently sweeping the world.
We are interested in any additional information and analysis on the subject. Finally, we welcome any support that will enable us to continue and further develop the action research we have undertaken.
Two articles were published today on RTS and SRF.
