Andrew Smith, spokesperson for Campaign Against Arms Trade, speaks to the media outside the Royal Courts of Justice, after they won a landmark legal challenge at the Court of Appeal over the government's decision to continue to allow arms sales to Saudi Arabia, in London, Thursday June 20, 2019. A British court has ruled that the U.K. government acted unlawfully in selling weapons to Saudi Arabia for use in the Yemen war, though it did not order a halt to the exports. The Court of Appeal ruled in favor of anti-weapons campaigners, who argued that the sales should not have been allowed because there was a clear risk that the weapons might be used in violation of international humanitarian law.
