<p>Following the Court of Appeal judgement in a Judicial Review into the Government’s
decision-making process for granting export licences to Saudi Arabia, Her Majesty's
Government will not be issuing new licenses to Saudi Arabia and its Coalition partners
for the sale of arms destined for use in the conflict in Yemen. The Government is
currently considering the implications of the Review. The judicial review judgement
is not about whether the Government has made the right decisions in granting export
licences but concerns the rationality of the process used to reach those decisions.</p><p>Under
the UK technical assistance programme within the Integrated Activity Fund, each project
goes through a rigorous compliance process before commencement. All projects are regularly
monitored and reviewed to ensure that the training provided by or on behalf of the
British Government complies with our domestic and international human rights obligations.</p><p>
