"German Officials Might Be Criminally Liable": Five Questions to Kai Ambos (Verfassungsblog, 2025-05-30)

>> Under the Arms Trade Treaty (#ATT), #Germany is prohibited from exporting weapons if there is an “overriding risk” that they could be used to commit international crimes…

>> … What matters is not whether the respective weapons are eventually used in war crimes or serious violations of international humanitarian law (IHL), but whether such an “overriding risk” existed at the time the export was approved…

>> In the case of the Occupied Palestinian Territory … such indicators have been present for years – and in the current Gaza war, they have intensified to the point that an “overriding risk” must clearly be assumed.

>> A failure to conduct or inadequately conduct the said risk assessment constitutes a violation of international law …
