LONDON: Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and Oxfam are set to contribute to a legal review of UK arms sales to Israel in a landmark case initiated by Al-Haq and the Global Legal Action Network. The High Court has granted permission for these renowned human rights groups to submit evidence that challenges the UK government’s arms export licenses amid concerns over potential violations of international law. The case, scheduled for October, has gained attention following revelations that over 100 new arms export licenses have been issued for Israel without any revocations, despite ongoing conflict resulting in significant civilian casualties. The involvement of these prominent organizations underscores a crucial examination of the UK’s compliance with legal obligations concerning arms sales to countries involved in conflicts with severe humanitarian impacts.
