Barrister blasts civil servants for ‘trying to become the master’ amid Israel arms row
UK Barrister Steven Barrett has hit out at the civil servants calling for legal action against the Government, after a trading union has revealed civil servants involved with arms exports have raised serious concerns over their own degree of legal liability, if Israel is found to be violating international humanitarian law.
A union representing these civil servants, Public and Commercial Services Union, has said it is “seriously considering taking legal action” in relation to the UK’s arms sales to Israel.
