Stop the UK from transferring all arms to Israel. Take action now.

Update: Amid the escalation in hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah, all states must immediately halt arms transfers and other forms of military assistance to Israel and Hezbollah, including the UK Government.

The human rights violations taking place in Gaza have long been at catastrophic levels. Despite knowing this, the UK still hasn’t suspended all transfers of arms to Israel. Stopping some arms isn’t enough, there should be no loopholes and no UK arms to Israel.

The International Court of Justice has warned of a plausible risk of genocide against Palestinians by the Israeli authorities. Continuing to allow some arms transfers is not in line with international legal standards and demonstrates a dire need for accountability in arms transfers.

Over the past decade, the narrative around human rights has been manipulated and demonised, when in reality they provide fundamental protections for us all. For example, domestic and international policy on arms is based on human rights principles and as a result, should prevent all arms from being sold if they could cause harm to civilians. But the UK Government isn’t adhering to those principles - we need to influence them to protect civilians and ensure justice for all.

Take action by contacting your MP to call for an immediate halt to all transfer of weapons to Israel, and ask them to do all they can to champion human rights.

Human rights are the solution, let’s remind the UK government to act on them.
