peterms Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Laws on arms sales, for example in Yemen. Quote In the US, pressure is mounting in Congress to force the Trump administration to pull the plug on Bin Salman’s war. In the UK, the pressure is coming from the courts. Arms sales are illegal if there is a clear risk the weapons might be used in serious violation of international law, and in June the Court of Appeal ruled that the government had acted unlawfully by failing to assess properly the risk of continuing to arm the Saudis. In fact the government hadn’t carried out any formal assessment of alleged Saudi violations, presumably because it knew full well what conclusion any credible assessment would have reached. The court ordered that no new arms export licences be granted and all existing licences be reviewed. The government plans to appeal but the ground is shrinking beneath it. A new, detailed report compiled by a Yemeni human rights group documents numerous instances of the Saudi-led coalition targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, and then whitewashing the evidence. The Saudis’ assurances of their own good behaviour and sincere wish to adhere to international law are cited by Whitehall in support of its cynical and self-serving decisions on arms export licensing. It recently emerged that UN experts had reported in January 2018 discovering fragments of British-made laser-guided bomb parts at the site of a September 2016 airstrike that breached international law. Over the course of four and a half years of indiscriminate bombing, Britain has enabled a pattern of international law violations by the Saudis. The fact that arms exports have continued regardless is proof that the legal controls on their sale are worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
