should just fall there for us in delhi now a group of human rights organizations have filed a complaint of these international criminal courts accusing european weapons manufacturers of being party to alleged war crimes in the yemen conflict they say european aircraft missiles and other arms enabled the saudi led coalition's alleged bombing of schools hospitals and civilians here in germany the companies run and air bus have been caught up in the controversy. european weapons technology is being used by the saudi army in yemen but have german companies also been guilty of aiding and abetting alleged war crimes by selling arms to the saudis 6 human rights organizations think so and have filed a complaint with the international criminal court in the hague. when we look at the war in yemen these corporations are providing the material to the saudi led coalition to carry out these strikes without this material they would not be able to carry out the strikes in the same manner and in the same amount the complaint focuses on the fact that european arms companies must have known about alleged war crimes since at least 2015 despite widespread concern
