Closed Stop UK complicity in the Coalition's war on Yemen

Closed on

The Coalition's aerial campaign has led to thousands of civilian deaths in Yemen, destroyed most of the infrastructure and led to the "world’s worst humanitarian crisis" according to Antonio Guterres.

To ensure the UK is not complicit in the death and suffering of the Yemeni people, we should:

1. Stop, or make all future weapons exports to coalition countries subject to ending of the bombing campaign and rebuilding of destroyed infrastructure.

2. Make all activities of any on-the-ground UK experts maintaining weapon systems subject to Whitehall and Westminster scrutiny.

The UK should set an example, provide moral leadership and lean on its international partners to follow suit.
