UKTI: Armed and Dangerous
Warning! dangerous structure sign

Armed conflict has a devastating impact on the lives of millions of people around the world. Arms exporters help prolong violent conflict, profiting from the human tragedy it brings.

Yet the UK government continues to grant export licenses to countries involved in armed conflict and to countries classified as being 'of concern' in the government's own human rights report. These sales are supported and promoted by a taxpayer funded arms sales unit, the UKTI Defence & Security Organisation (UKTI DSO).

CAAT is calling for the closure of UKTI DSO and an end to its functions.

What you can do

We need your help to put the arms trade on the agenda for new MPs and the government. In the run up to the election CAAT supporters lobbied parliamentary candidates in over 200 constituencies.

Now we want to reach at least half of new MPs. With your help we can do it!
