With @CAATuk at the High Court to argue the government's arms sales to Saudi Arabia for its use in Yemen are illegal. The UK has sold over £23bn of arms to Saudi and contributed to thousands of civilian deaths and one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters. #StopArmingSaudi
The government is arguing that these breaches of international humanitarian law are "isolated incidents" and should be expected in a conflict of this nature. #SolidarityWithYemen
CAAT's lawyers say that the government's logic is "absurd" and the it has shown a "remarkable lack of curiosity" in determining why there have been multiple breaches of the rules of engagement. #CAATGoesToCourt

In a CBC Radio interview, Canada’s UN Amb. @BobRae48 dismissed a UN report that had named Canadian arms exports to Saudi as perpetuating the conflict in Yemen.

Embarrassingly, Rae referred to Canadian exports of Light Armoured Vehicles as “jeeps.” #StopArmingSaudi #cdnpoli Image
In the interview, Rae also falsely stated that Canada is “not supplying arms” to the conflict. In 2019, Canada sold Saudi Arabia almost $3b in weapons, including LAVs, large-calibre artillery systems, and heavy machine guns #StopArmingSaudi theguardian.com/world/2020/jun…
Last week, CJPME joined with 38 other civil society groups to denounce Canada’s arms sales to Saudi Arabia. You can read the letter here: amnesty.ca/news/civil-soc… #StopArmingSaudi #cdnpoli

The @CPC_HQ’s new leader is promoting a backwards foreign policy agenda which would violate principles of human rights and int’l law.

@ErinOTooleMP wants Canada to increase support for Israeli and Saudi war crimes, and punish Palestinian refugees and activists [thread]. #cpc Image
O’Toole wants to follow Trump in moving the Canadian Embassy to Jerusalem. This would formally recognize Israel’s illegal annexation of occupied East Jerusalem. He calls himself a “pioneer within the party” on this issue. thej.ca/2020/06/07/in-…
O’Toole wants to restore ties and “win some trust” with Saudi Arabia, a brutal regime which is carrying out a devastating war in Yemen. If anything, Canada should be cancelling its arms contracts, not increasing them. #StopArmingSaudi cbc.ca/news/politics/…

A lunchtime review of this momentous morning - where are we now? This morning the Court of Appeal found the government had broken the law over arms sales for use in #Yemen caat.org.uk/media/press-re… #StopArmingSaudi (Thread)
The court found that the government's process for deciding on export licenses to Saudi was ‘irrational and therefore unlawful’.
It found that the government had made no attempt to assess the evidence of past violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) by the Coalition in #Yemen or come to any conclusion as to whether IHL violations had taken place

Just back from Court of Appeal in London. @hrw will respond more fully soon, but for now a quick thread on today's ruling by 3 judges on UK arms sales to Saudi Arabia.
UK govt has LOST and judges at Court of Appeal rule UK decision-making on its arms sales to Saudi Arabia has been unlawful. The UK govt has promised to STOP arms sales to Saudi Arabia for now with immediate effect - this is a major victory for human rights groups.
Judges ruled that the UK govt is wrong to continue selling arms to Saudi Arabia without considering Saudi’s appalling human rights record in the war it's conducting in Yemen

1. Today, @MwatanaEn PAX @unitedforrights released a report--the most comprehensive look yet--on the role of US and European weapons in apparently unlawful #Saudi #UAE coalition attacks #Yemen.

Read the full 128-page report here: mwatana.org/en/day-of-judg…
2. The numbers:
- 27 attacks documented killed at least 203 civilians and wounded 749.
- At least *122 children* and 56 women among the casualties.
- *All 27 attacks* involved US or UK weapons.
- Specifically: 22 w/ US weapons, 2 w/ UK weapons, and 3 w/ US and UK parts.
3. A lot of ink has been spilled (incl. by me) about potential complicity of #US + #UK in unlawful #Saudi #UAE coalition attacks, risk of weapons being used unlawfully.

Why is this report so important? Clear evidence UK and US arms *already are* being used unlawfully.

#SaudiArabia has committed numerous human rights violations. The murder of #JamalKhashoggi is by no means the only reason why the West should consider their relationship and in particular should #StopArmingSaudi #JusticeForJamal
On 17 June 2012 @raif_badawi was arrested on the charge of “insulting Islam through electronic channels”. He had a liberal discussion forum in Saudi Arabia. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, 1000 lashes & a fine. On 9 January 2015 he received the first 50 lashes. #FreeRaif
.@raif_badawi is still in prison in #SaudiArabia. His wife @miss9afi and his children live in Canada and are Canadian citizens. The family has not seen Raif for more than 6 years. @miss9afi campaigns tirelessly for his release. #FreeRaif #RoyalPardon4Raif ciluna27.wordpress.com/2016/03/10/rai…

Farnborough International #FIA18 is a major arms fair, with the UK government pushing international arms sales. Here are the military delegations they invited: gov.uk/government/new… #StopArmigSaudi #warStartsHere
The UK government has, of course, invited Saudi Arabia to shop for weapons at Farnborough. The Saudi-led bombing of #Yemen is utilising many of the weapons exhibited at #FIA18, from BAE's Eurofighter Typhoon, and Raytheon and MBDA missiles. #StopArmingSaudi
Shown here at Farnborough 2014 - some of the weaponry since used in the Saudi-led war on Yemen. Thousands of deaths and a humanitarian catastrophe later, the UK government is still pushing for *more* sales. #StopArmingSaudi #WarStartsHere #FIA18
