Dear friend,
For almost seven years we have been calling for justice for the people of
Yemen. Meanwhile, since the bombardment began the UK has sold over £20
billion worth of military equipment to Saudi Arabia.
War Crimes in Yemen [1]
On 11 December 2019 a coalition of European and Yemeni groups called on the
International Criminal Court [2] (ICC) in Hague to investigate European
governments and arms company officials for potentially aiding and abetting
war crimes in Yemen.
Two years on the Office of the Prosecutor is still examining the case to
decide if the ICC will start a formal investigation.
If you'd like to know more about this case you can read our Question and
Answer [3] document. The case argues that the economic and political actors
involved in the arms trade potentially bear criminal responsibility.
We need your help [1]
The international community is failing Yemen. There is currently no
international mechanism to investigate potential war crimes or violations
of human rights.
Call on the Prosecutor, British lawyer Karim Khan, to secure accountability
for the people of Yemen. You can write directly to the ICC here [1].
Thank you for your support.
