CAAT have compiled a list of companies that manufacture this equipment, and their researchers are putting some other bits of evidence together that should be published this week explaining it all. We need to hold these companies to account for their weapons being used in what has been described by the director of Global Freedom of Expression at Columbia University and the U.N. special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions . Agnes Callamard as “possible violations of international law and the principles of necessity and proportionality”.
