NGO Monitor announced on Thursday that it has since submitted an appeal to the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs over the department's denial of requests from a Swiss resident and NGO Monitor for public information about Swiss government funding to the Ramallah-based Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law Secretaritat.
NGO Monitor cited the Swiss Federal Act on Freedom of Information in the Administration. The secretariat distributes 56% of its budget to NGOs that advocate for boycott, divestment, and sanctions campaigns against Israel.
