humaniaria by Spain still does not meet the Commerce Act weapons

organizations Amnesty International, Fundació per la Pau, Greenpeace and Oxfam reported that the English government still does not apply Law 53/2007, which regulates foreign trade of arms and dual-use material . Sales in the first half of 2009 show that it is selling defense equipment to countries where human rights are respected as Colombia, Morocco, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Guinea Conakry.

Data from the first half of 2009, provided by the Ministry of Commerce show that Spain exported defense equipment valued at 411.1 million euros, representing an increase of 64.5% over the same period last year above.

The Law 53/2007 regulates the sales, and provides that no transfers shall be authorized to places where these weapons could be used to violate human rights or international humanitarian law (IHL), where there is risk of diversion to other countries, etc. It also provides that when approving exports, the Government must take into account the reports of international institutions like the UN and rights organizations human.

Thus, in Sri Lanka, while they were receiving credible reports of United Nations and NGOs under which both parties to the conflict have committed war crimes, Spain authorized exports worth 1.1 million euros in the category of "bombs , torpedoes, rockets and missiles. "

Information published in the last few days indicate that the English company Aries, Systems Engineering and in 2009 reached an agreement with the Israeli company Goldtech Technologies. Company sources have acknowledged that this could be the first step in the sale of "technology and engineering drones" , also known as 'drones' or UAV, "and catapults launching . Among the main customers of Goldtech Technologies found the Army and the Israeli Defense Ministry.

NGOs express their deep concern and point out that if these operations are realized it would be in flagrant breach of the provisions of the law. Accordingly, they claim the Government to explain whether it has authorized or will authorize any such operation, and if so how it has assessed the risk that can be used to violate human rights or humanitarian law. "By the nature of the product in question, and the country of destination, export of this type would violate all the red lines set in the law, "said Mabel González, of Greenpeace. Also return to claim the English Government to suspend all transfers of ammunition, equipment and military aid to Israel until proven in a clear and evident that do not contribute to the commission of violations of human rights or humanitarian law.

Two years later, many questions remain unanswered and are still selling very disturbing material to destinations. "Two years is a more than reasonable to ensure proper application of the law, to prevent the continued selling arms to destinations where their use can have very serious consequences. We demand the government more rigorously and correctly applied so far not been produced, "explains Jordi Armadans , the Fundació per la Pau.
