Amsterdam, February 12 (RHC)-- A court in the Netherlands has ordered the Dutch government to stop exporting U.S.-made F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel.
In the ruling, one of the judges wrote: “It is undeniable that there is a clear risk that the exported F-35 parts are used in serious violations of international humanitarian law.”
In November, Oxfam and Amnesty International sued the Dutch government, saying the arms transfers violated the Netherlands’ obligations under international law to prevent war crimes.
The F-35 jets are manufactured by the United States, bur are stored in Holland for shipment to the Pentagon's clients.
