Stop the flow of weapons to Yemen

What the petition asks
Countries - including Germany, the Netherlands and Norway - have started to restrict weapons sales to the Saudi and UAE-led coalition. But other countries, including the USA, UK, Spain, and Canada, are still supplying weapons.
The conflict in Yemen has proven difficult to ignore - the world has been shocked by images of civilians killed and maimed; Yemenis who are starving; of schools, hospitals, markets destroyed by bombs with ‘made in the USA’ and ‘made in the UK’ inscribed. We need to stop the flow of arms that are fueling these human rights violations in Yemen.
We can put pressure on countries to stop the transfers, reduce violations and civilian suffering.
