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.
