Arms Trade Issues
Campaigns past and present
Introduction to the Arms Trade
Take our tour around the key issues of the arms trade.
Arms to Renewables
Call for a shift of priorities to create more and better jobs and a safer world for all.
Arms Fairs
Take action to stop the events where arms buyers and sellers can come together, network and make deals.
Arms Trade Out!
Arms companies are hiring the spaces of our museums, galleries, and historical buildings – even our cathedrals. We're asking them to reconsider.
Political Influence
Arms companies have long enjoyed a close relationship with the Government, giving them immense influence over government decision-making.
UKTI: Armed & Dangerous
The UK government doesn't just approve the sales of arms to unstable & despotic regimes - it actively promotes them - through a taxpayer funded arms sales unit.
