A Palestinian rights group’s legal challenge to try to stop UK arms sales to Israel over breaches of international law in its war on Gaza will be heard at London’s High Court, a judge has ruled according to Al Jazeera.
Al-Haq, which documents rights violations by Israel, is taking legal action against Britain over export licences for weapons and military equipment.
The occupied West Bank-based group, which is involved in similar cases in Canada and Denmark, says there is a clear risk that arms being exported from the UK will be used in violation of international humanitarian law, which makes their continued export unlawful.
