In this blog post the European Legal Support Center\u2019s Crimes &amp; Complicity team is reflecting on the European legal landscape vis-\u00e0-vis weapons transfers to Israel and our efforts to stop them.<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Between March and June 2026, following cease-and-desist letters from the European Legal Support Center (ELSC) and sustained pressure from BDS activists and Italian MPs, 7 shipments with <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">27 containers<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> of ballistic dual-use military steel originating from India and destined for \u00a0the Israeli military, were halted and inspected in the Italian ports of Cagliari and Gioia Tauro. For the first time in three years shipments of this nature to Israel were stopped in Italy. While Italian law strictly mandates specific authorisation for the transit of military or dual-use materials &#8211; hundreds of ammunition shipments to Israel passed through Italian ports over the last three years without scrutiny.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This time, the Italian national authority for arms control, UAMA (Unit for Arms Materials Authorisations), has stated that no authorisation for the transit of dual-use materials was issued and under public pressure, Italian Customs were forced to inspect the containers to find they were full of ballistic dual-use steel. Based on our calculations, we believe this amounts to be approximately 750 tons of goods, with a market value of around $1 million. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">After multiple attempts in the last three years to deploy different legal strategies to stop arms transfer through Europe to Israel, this marks an encouraging yet fragile success. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The first time we tried to stop a <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">specific delivery through legal intervention was in the case of MV Kathrin. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On 24, August 2024 the Namibian government revoked the container ship MV Kathrin\u2019s right to dock at Namibia\u2019s main port Walvis Bay. The ship had departed Vietnam a month earlier with 150 tons of military-grade explosives on board, to be delivered to Israel\u2019s military contractor Elbit Systems via ports in Slovenia and Montenegro. The ship is owned by the German shipping company Boehe Schiffahrt GmbH but was at the time sailing under the Portuguese flag \u2013 an option increasingly popular amongst shipping companies for tax reasons and access to European union waters. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Namibian government <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/neweralive.na\/namibia-blocks-israeli-weapon-carrying-vessel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">rejected<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> the vessel based on their \u201cobligation not to support or be complicit in Israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, as well as its unlawful occupation of Palestine\u201d. What followed was a months-long odyssey and increased public pressure. The BDS movement initiated the growingly effective campaign <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bdsmovement.net\/blocktheboat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">BLOCK THE BOAT<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and the ELSC issued multiple cease-and-desist letters to port authorities. Several countries including Angola, Malta, Slovenia, and Montenegro followed Namibia\u2019s decision and denied the vessel access to their ports, Portugal demanded the removal of the Portuguese flag from the ship \u2013 which adopted the German flag subsequently and deactivated all GPS satellite signals until the explosives were unloaded in Egypt\u2019s Alexandria port.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">By then \u2013 the European Legal Support Center had been monitoring the movement of the vessel closely and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/elsc.support\/emergency-motion-against-the-delivery-of-explosives-from-the-german-ship-mv-kathrin-to-israel\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">intervened legally in Germany<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> to force the German government to stop the delivery of the explosives to Israel.

In a separate case, the ICJ has in July 2024 determined that Israel\u2019s entire presence, including military occupation and colonial settlements, in the occupied Palestinian territory is illegal, amounts to apartheid, and that all states must promptly act to end it.\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These determinations make abundantly clear the binding obligations on third states under international law to prevent complicity in Israel\u2019s genocide, illegal occupation and apartheid, and to take measures to prevent, end and punish Israel\u2019s crimes. However, both European states and the European Union have not only failed to do so, but have been active players in arming, funding, and otherwise enabling those very crimes. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has--font-size\">European states: arms transports outside judicial oversight<\/h2>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Through various legal interventions including in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/elsc.support\/case\/due-to-lack-of-current-arms-licenses-to-israelberlin-administrative-court-rejects-urgent-application-against-further-war-weapons-exports\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Germany<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/elsc.support\/dutch-court-fails-to-enforce-states-obligations-to-prevent-genocide-and-address-ties-to-illegal-occupation\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">the Netherlands<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, we have exposed that while European courts may acknowledge these obligations under international law in principle, they are unwilling to enforce them. The Dutch Court of Appeal has even <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/voelkerrechtsblog.org\/dutch-court-of-appeal-recognizes-a-serious-risk-of-genocide-in-gaza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">confirmed<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> there was a serious risk of genocide taking place in Gaza, while stopping short of enforcing the clear obligations resulting from such a determination.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In many jurisdictions, such as France, the United Kingdom, and Germany, lawsuits seeking to ban or review arms export decisions <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ejiltalk.org\/arms-exports-and-access-to-justice-enforcing-international-law-through-domestic-courts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">are dismissed on procedural grounds<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The courts often accept the bureaucratic excuses and regulatory tightropes of European governments \u2013 effectively permitting complicity in genocide and war crimes. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In practice, outcomes also hinge heavily on timing and access to evidence. Courts may find no urgency or declare a case moot where a shipment has already departed. Case after case, we have witnessed courts treating export licensing as a matter of foreign policy outside of robust judicial oversight.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The secrecy surrounding arms transfers further complicates litigation, because licence details, cargo manifests, and related documentation are frequently withheld or are inaccessible. This, in return, shields transfers from public scrutiny and legal challenges. Too often, we rely on whistleblower alerts or coincidental reports by activists that inform us of certain shipments and to point us towards the necessary evidence.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has--font-size\">European Union-Fragmentation as structural obstacle to accountability<\/h2>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At the EU level, member states apply the EU Common Military List and the Common Position on arms exports, which set shared assessment criteria for granting export licences, including human rights and international humanitarian law considerations.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Shipments of arms often involve more than one country within the EU or outside. There is the country of origin exporting the arms and the countries of transit or airspace overflight. While the licensing authority remains national, EU rules structure how export risk assessments are conducted. For shipments involving overflight or transshipment through additional states, each relevant jurisdiction may require its own transit or overflight authorisation for military goods. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This means a single shipment often requires multiple authorisations. They also involve multiple actors: manufacturers, intermediaries, shipping companies, insurers, port operators and public authorities. Responsibility is, therefore, legally fragmented, and actors often slip through the net of accountability. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This fragmentation creates a structural obstacle: For each shipment we must ask ourselves, who or what can we target with legal action? Which legal interventions are possible? Can we target licensing, customs clearance, or port authorisation? And which legal action will be effective in achieving our goal: to stop the delivery to the Israeli army? <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:278}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On the other hand, this fragmentation also makes the deliveries vulnerable: we can apply legal pressure at multiple points at once to expose and disrupt the arms transfer.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has--font-size\">The ELSC\u2019s strategy: exposing, disrupting, creating friction<\/h2>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Underlying our approach is ELSC\u2019s core mandate: to deploy strategic legal intervention to confront systems enabling genocide and war crimes, support movement efforts resisting them and strengthen accountability pathways.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">By delaying shipments, notifying insurers, and elevating liability risks for owners and operators, legal action generates friction across the supply chain and pressures companies to reassess their involvement. These disruptions, in turn, strengthen movement-led campaigning, inform state-level scrutiny, and contribute to long-term structural limitations on the flow of military materials to Israel. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To stop or delay ships and flights transferring weapons to Israel, we rely on three legal frameworks:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0States\u2019 domestic arms export controls,<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0International humanitarian law (IHL) obligations, and <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559683&quot;:0,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Treaty obligations like those in the <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Arms Trade Treaty<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> (ATT).\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For example: under Article 6 of the ATT, states parties must not authorise transfers where there is \u201cknowledge at the time of authorisation\u201d that the arms would be used to commit genocide, crimes against humanity or grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions.

Whistleblowing is crucial. Without information about who is involved, the scale and route of the delivery, we can&#8217;t take legal action. Unfortunately, even if we provide correct evidence, judges and state officials often refuse to acknowledge the illegality of such deliveries.
