Commission an inquiry into UK Arms trade with Israel

Closed 4,213 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should commission a full inquiry into UK arms imports & exports with the state of Israel, to establish whether there is a risk of UK manufactured arms & components being used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian law.
The UK Government's Strategic Export Licensing Criteria sets out clearly the criteria for licensing of arms exports. Considering the available evidence, the inquiry should consider whether licenses should be suspended, revoked, amended or granted in the future.
