Campaigners call for stop of arms sale to Saudi

‘Calls have stepped up on the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) member states to stop selling deadly weapons to Saudi Arabia as the kingdom is using foreign arms to target civilians in Yemen.

The Control Arms Coalition said in a report on Friday that 11 countries, all of them state parties or signatories to the ATT, have reported sale of arms in 2015 to Riyadh, in a clear violation of their obligations under the UN treaty.

The report said governments of France, Germany, Italy, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the UK, and the US have sold various licenses and weapons to Saudi Arabia, including drones, bombs, torpedoes, rockets and missiles.’
