| Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) disinvestment from Israel controversy : ウィキペディア英語版 | Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) disinvestment from Israel controversy The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) adopted a policy of "phased, selective divestment" from certain American corporations operating in Israel beginning in 2004, as a means of influencing the government of Israel.〔(PC(USA) - 217th General Assembly (2006) - 2004 GA's Israel/Palestine language replaced )〕 This policy has been controversial both within and outside of the denomination, even resulting in charges of antisemitism. The policy was changed in 2006 by another vote of the General Assembly.〔(PC(USA) - 217th General Assembly (2006) - GA overwhelmingly approves Israel/Palestine recommendation )〕 ==Divestment== The church stated in 1971 (UPCUSA) and 1976 (PCUS) that it has a responsibility to ensure that its funds (such as the Pension Trust for Retired Church Workers) be invested responsibly and consistent with the church's mission. The reunited church formed the Committee for Mission Responsibility Through Investing (MRTI) in 1986. The MRTI Committee carried out the General Assembly's wish to engage in shareholder activism and as a last resort, divest itself of companies which contravened the GA's position. Divestment follows a phased process that starts with attempted dialog and shareholder resolutions and ultimately the total sale of and future ban on the church's holdings in a company.〔(PC(USA) - Mission Responsibility Through Investment (MRTI) - Faith-based investing - What Is MRTI? )〕 The church did so with companies cooperating with the apartheid regime in South Africa. As of 2007, the PC(USA) has divested itself from nineteen companies involved in military-related production (large contractors, manufacturers of anti-personnel landmines and weapons of mass destruction), tobacco companies, and companies engaged in or supporting governments in human rights violations. In the latter category, the church most recently divested itself from Talisman Energy, which was accused of collaboration with the Sudanese government. After Talisman withdrew from Sudan, the General Assembly voted to remove it from the divestment list.〔(Microsoft Word - 07 ga divestment list.doc )〕
