Canada has sold billions of dollars of weapons to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in violation of the Arms Trade Treaty — an international agreement it formally joined in 2019. That’s according to a new report by Amnesty International and Project Ploughshares, which accuses Canadian officials of cherry-picking through evidence of Saudi war crimes in order to paint the weapons sales as compliant with international law. Researchers say weapons sold by Canada to Saudi Arabia may have been diverted for use in Yemen. Since 2014, the Saudi-led, U.S.-backed war has killed about a quarter of a million people, while devastating Yemen’s infrastructure and setting off a humanitarian catastrophe. The World Food Programme says more than 16 million Yemenis are food insecure, with pockets of famine persisting.
