Dear friends,

A reminder that TODAY 15 MARCH AT 4 PM there will be an online launch [1]
of a new research report on arming conflict, "MISSING IN ACTION: UK ARMS
EXPORT CONTROLS DURING WAR AND ARMED CONFLICT", by PROF. ANNA STAVRIANAKIS
[2], University of Sussex. 

The event will include an expert panel discussion with speakers including:

* ANNA STAVRIANAKIS, Professor of International Relations at the
University of Sussex;
* ALI JAMEEL, Accountability and Redress Officer at Mwatana for Human
Rights [3];
* RYVKA BARNARD, Deputy Director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign
[4];
* KATIE FALLON Parliamentary Coordinator at Campaign Against Arms Trade.

REGISTER HERE! [5]

Despite the UK's commitment to a 'rigorus and robust' arms export control
regime the outbreak of war or conflict has had little or no restraining
effect on UK arms exports. EVEN WHERE VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND
HUMANITARIAN LAW ARE DOCUMENTED, UK ARMS EXPORT CONTROLS HAVE NOT
RESTRICTED TRANSFERS IN ANY MEANINGFUL WAY.

This event explores the patterns of UK arms exports in the last two
decades, with particular reference to arms exports to India and Pakistan in
relation to Kashmir; to the Sri Lankan armed forces in the civil war; to
Israel, used in the occupation of Palestine; and to the Saudi-led coalition
in the war in Yemen.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
