How Europe is arming murderous Middle East regimes

A new report highlights how the European Defence Fund subsidizes companies acting in total violation of the EU’s Common Position on arms exports, and without any democratic control. Among the clients of these companies: the authoritarian and repressive regimes of the Middle East which cause death and suffering to millions of civilians. As the European Parliament elections scheduled for June 6-9, 2024 are approaching, the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), its member leagues in the MENA region and l’observatoire des armements, co-authors of the report are calling on candidates and future elected representatives to the European Parliament to commit to profound reforms regarding the sale of arms and the accountability of European states.
