Lawyers for the Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) says the UK has broken domestic, European and International arms trade law. A separate legal opinion prepared for Amnesty International by Matrix Chambers also says the government has broken its own law and the UN Arms Trade Treaty, which the UK champions.
