UK weapons exports to Israel - GLAN In December 2023, GLAN and Al-Haq took the UK government to the High Court over weapons exports to Israel in light of clear violations of international law

In court we exposed the govt's absurd methodology, which required Israel to share the intent of each strike, leading to the govt concluding by Sept 2024 that only 1 incident since Israel’s attack started was a POSSIBLE breach of IHL, and that it ignored crucial evidence glanlaw.org/cases/uk-wea...

"UK law is clear - knowingly selling a good produced on Israel's illegal settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is a criminal money laundering offence. The Government's failure to ban trade with the illegal settlements exposes the public to widespread criminality. The Government has the power to remedy this situation immediately. It imposed a comprehensive ban on goods imports from Russian occupied areas of Ukraine. Why is Israel's illegal occupation any different?" George Collecott, GLAN lawyer

“UK law is clear -knowingly selling a good produced on Israel's illegal settlements in the OPT is a criminal money laundering offence... The govt banned goods imports from Russian occupied areas of Ukraine. Why is Israel's illegal occupation any different?” GLAN lawyer, George Collecott 3/4

Every day the Secretary of State for Business and Trade fails to stop imports of goods from illegal settlements the UK is breaching its international law obligations and exposing the British public to potential involvement in money laundering.

The UK must take concrete steps to halt imports as #Israel escalates state violence in the #WestBank and accelerates its unlawful plans for annexation, and more widespread violations of international law. 2/4
