answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2014 answer text <p>We do not believe that imposing a blanket arms embargo on Israel would promote progress in the Middle East Peace Process. All countries, including Israel, have a legitimate right to self-defence, and the right to defend their citizens from attack. In doing so, it is vital that all actions are proportionate, in line with International Humanitarian Law, and are calibrated to avoid civilian casualties. Defence and security exports support states’ legitimate right to self-defence, security and law and order. The UK has one of the most robust licensing systems in the world.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 03/09/2014 16:15:50 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

At the time that these individuals were originally convicted, reports acknowledged by the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry suggested that some defendants had been abused in detention, denied access to legal counsel and coerced into confessing.
