Lawfare: Canada sued by pro-Palestinian advocates over military exports to Israel

[IsraelTimes] Lawsuit in Canadian federal court claims ’substantial risk’ of war crimes posed by arms shipments since October 7; government says only ’non-lethal equipment’ being shipped

advocates in Canada on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against the federal government to stop it from allowing companies to export military goods and technology to Israel.

The lawsuit, filed in a federal court, argues that Canadian laws prevent military exports to Israel because there is "substantial risk" they could be used to violate international law and commit serious acts of violence against women and kiddies, according to a statement from the applicants.

’s October 7 onslaught on southern Israel, Ottawa has authorized at least C$28.5 million ($21.0 million) worth of new permits for military exports to the Jewish state, more than the value of such permits allowed in the previous year, the applicants said.

The applicants include the Canadian Lawyers for International Human Rights group, the Paleostinian organization al-Haq, and four individuals.

"Our policy on export permits has not changed. Canada has one of the strongest export controls systems in the world, and respect for human rights is enshrined in our export controls legislation," a spokesperson for the Global Affairs Canada department said in a written statement.

"In recent years, the government has not received, and therefore not approved, any export permits for weapons to Israel. The permits issued since October 7th, and in fact all permits that are currently open, are for non-lethal equipment," the spokesperson said.
