Join Forum on the Arms Trade and the Arms Trade Litigation Monitor for a virtual webinar Tuesday, January 16, from 10:30 a.m. - 11:45 a.m. EST.
As the Israel-Gaza conflict escalated last year, many civil society organizations and countries called for a halt to all weapons exports to the conflict. In some western countries, for example, legal challenges were filed asking for transparency in or a stop to the provision of weapons to Israel. This event provides an opportunity to learn about and discuss some of these legal challenges, framed within the broader context of increased litigation around arms transfers in recent years.
