In 2024, $104 billion in commercial deals were announced at Farnborough International arms fair.

Each of these deals contributes to more war, more destruction, and more horror across the world.

[Campaign Against Arms Trade @CAATuk]

Very pleased to have been among the 55 organisations who signed this letter. Diplomacy, peace building, atrocity prevention, meeting human needs, finding new solutions on climate have to be the priority for genuine security.

Farnborough International is coming back to Hampshire next month.

This airshow & arms fair will facilitate billions of pounds in weapons deals for more death and destruction - and whitewash the horrors of war.

CAAT STATEMENT: The Defence Investment Plan announced yesterday by the outgoing Prime Minister from the offices of a drone-making BAE Systems subsidiary represents a dangerous failure of imagination.

Amnesty report documents crimes against humanity by Rapid Support Forces in Al Fasher, Sudan. Amnesty calls for a ceasefire, stopping arms supplies to conflict parties, and a halt to arms sales in particular to the UAE, the RSF's main backer, a call CAAT strongly supports.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

The war in Sudan is a war on civilians.

New report by @amnesty documents the RSF’s crimes against humanity of murder, forcible transfer, imprisonment, torture, rape, sexual slavery, other forms of sexual violence, enslavement, extermination and persecution.

UK military spending has reached a 30-year high.

This shameful prioritisation of warfare at the expense of welfare is a danger to us all.

[Campaign Against Arms Trade @CAATuk]

The UK government has announced nearly £300 billion in military spending over the next 4 years.

[Campaign Against Arms Trade @CAATuk]

Starmer has announced an extra £15 billion spending on the military paid for by cuts to public spending.

Our public money should be invested into schools, housing, and the NHS - not into the pockets of arms companies who kill and destroy across the world.

Shameful.

🚨1,500+ weapons companies are coming to Farnborough International next month for a horrific airshow and arms fair.

This arms fair brings together weapons companies, arms dealers, and government officials to make deals for war and genocide.

You might have seen this advert on buses in London...

It's for Farnborough Airshow, a grotesque exhibition of weapons of war and genocide.

This year, over 1,000 arms companies will exhibit including Elbit, BAE, and more genocide profiteers.
