The British Supreme Court’s opposition to canceling the licenses to send arms to the Zionist regime

The Supreme Court of England announced that it will not agree to the request of human rights groups based in this country who say that the sale of arms to the Zionist regime violates international humanitarian law and therefore the relevant licenses should be revoked.

According to the Guardian, the Supreme Court of England claimed that in order to cancel the license to sell weapons, it must be clearly established that these weapons were used in “serious violations” of international laws.

This decision is announced while the number of Palestinian martyrs has exceeded 29,000 and more than 60% of the buildings in Gaza have been destroyed by bombing.

Palestinian human rights organization “Al-Haq” and the Global Legal Action Network, which started this legal challenge against the British Ministry of Trade, say that such a decision is not consistent with the growing international consensus against the Zionist regime.

These organizations requested in December that the arms export licenses be re-examined judicially. Under UK arms export law, an export license must be revoked if there is a “clear risk” that a weapon will be used for “serious violations of international humanitarian law.”

It is said that in recent years, England has sent a wide range of weapons to Tel Aviv, including military radar parts, targeting equipment, military support parts, aircraft and warships.

Earlier and last week, a court in the Netherlands ordered the government of this country to stop the delivery of F35 fighter parts to the Zionist regime for 7 days.
