COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AFP) — A Copenhagen court on Friday rejected a lawsuit filed by four humanitarian organizations accusing Denmark of violating international law by exporting weapons to Israel.
The Palestinian human rights association Al-Haq, Amnesty International, Oxfam and ActionAid Denmark said they would appeal the decision to Denmark’s Supreme Court.
“As human rights organizations … if we cannot try this case, then there is no one in Denmark who would be granted a legal interest,” Tim Whyte, the secretary general of ActionAid Denmark, told AFP.
Hmm kinda makes sense though
Maybe it makes sense legally, but that only means the law is wrong.
Whyte said the ruling meant that “there is no one that can test the legality of the government’s commitments to international conventions in this case.”
