The aim of the campaign is to stop all transfers
of arms when there is a clear risk that they may facilitate violations
of human rights or international humanitarian law.
To attain this objective, we shall be asking
:
- The President of the Council of the European
Union and the High Representative of the CFSP (Common and Foreign
Security Policy) to take the lead in an EU action designed to
draft an international convention on brokerage, to make the
European Code of Conduct on armaments exports legally binding
and to make the Code's criteria more stringent;
- The Prime Minister to ensure that national
laws on brokering are adopted, to exert pressure in favour of
the adoption of an international convention on brokerage, and
to do all that is necessary to make the Code of Conduct legally
binding and to strengthen its criteria.
