ICSFT recalls that under the ATT, only the identification of a risk of committing or facilitating serious violations of international humanitarian law or human rights law triggers the obligation for State Parties to deny arms exports. It is wrong and immoral to think that this risk does not exist in relation to arms sales to Saudi Arabia. The evidence we see from Yemen suggests the opposite: the risk is very clear.

Therefore ICSFT urges Germany, France, UK, USA, and any other county that claims to be against human rights violations, to immediately stop arms transfers to Saudi Arabia, and any other country where the arms export could facilitate a serious violation of international human rights law or humanitarian law! Human rights agenda should not be compromised by financial gains, especially when the transaction is at the expense of innocent human lives!
