Description
A Copenhagen court has rejected a lawsuit filed by four humanitarian organisations accusing Denmark of violating international law by exporting weapons to Israel. The Palestinian human rights association Al-Haq, Amnesty International, Oxfam and ActionAid Denmark say they will appeal the decision to Denmark's Supreme Court. "As human rights organisations ... if we cannot try this case, then there is no one in Denmark who would be granted a legal interest," explains Tim Whyte, the Secretary General of ActionAid Denmark, "we feel that is a very dangerous precedent."
