Stop the sale of arms to Saudi-led military coalition.
The government should not export military hardware to Saudi Arabia. British support is sustaining the Saudi campaign. Currently, 80% of the Yemen population are in need of humanitarian support. Not only should the UK be granting no new licences, but the impact of current licences must be restricted.
Yemen is currently on the edge of extinction, facing war, a Covid-19 pandemic, and a cholera pandemic. There have been credible incidents of concern related to Saudi forces’ conduct. There is no better way to prove or regulate that British weapons aren't used on civilians other than not to sell to parties that are known to use their arms as such. We must have higher standards of certainty.
