Summary

Mrs Clémentine Autain questions the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs on the sale to Saudi Arabia of military equipment such as missiles or Damocles pods. France, as a signatory to the Arms Trade Treaty, is not allowed to transfer weapons if there is a risk they could be used in war crimes or other human rights abuses. In Yemen, these crimes of war are documented, with for example several bombings targeting civilian populations. Questioned on this subject on February 13, 2019 before the Foreign Affairs Committee, the minister declared that “we do not provide anything to the Saudi air force”. This week, the leak of a confidential note from the Directorate of Military Intelligence revealed that this was indeed the case (Franco-British guided missiles Black Shaheen, AASM missiles, and Damocles pods intended to guide the missiles). Also, she questions him about the veracity of this information, which calls for a clear response from the Government.
