The Southern Africa Litigation Centre has filed an application in the North Gauteng High Court to suspend permits for arms exports to the United States. The non-governmental organisation argues the National Conventional Arms Control Committee should have cancelled the permits due to international law concerns. This is the first South African case seeking to stop arms sales to a permanent UN Security Council member. The Chairperson of the National Conventional Arms Control Committee, Minister of Defence and President Cyril Ramaphosa are listed as respondents. We spoke to Dr. Atilla Kisla, International Justice Cluster Lead at the Southern Africa Litigation Centre.
