BRITISH arms sales to Saudi Arabia are unlawful and must be stopped, the Court of Appeal heard today.
Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) says there is a “clear risk” of arms being used in the commission of a serious violation of international humanitarian law in Yemen.
In February 2017, CAAT challenged the Department for International Trade’s failure to suspend licences to export arms to Saudi Arabia.
