The Geneva branch of the Israeli- and US-backed group that delivers aid to Gaza has been ordered to comply with its registration requirements or face possible court action.
A legal document posted on the Commercial Register of the Swiss Canton of Geneva dated Thursday said the GHF affiliate had “deficiencies in the organisation that is mandatory by law.”
The registry gave the GHF 30 days to fix those deficiencies. If it fails to comply, the case will be forwarded to a local court or supervisory authority for action against it, it said.
The GHF did not immediately respond to a request for comment emailed by Reuters.
The GHF has previously dismissed UN criticism of its operations in Gaza and has told Reuters that the only GHF entity in use today is the foundation established in the US.
The notification by the Geneva registry is separate to a potential investigation that the Swiss Federal Department of Home Affairs is considering launching into the foundation.
