Campaign Goals

Tagged:
SPEAK is campaigning to end government support of the arms trade and in particular the closure of the Defence and Security Organisation.

SPEAK is calling for...

  1. The closure of the Defence and Security Organisation. (UKTI DSO)
  2. A new agency to facilitate diversification of skills, technologies, and jobs from arms to civil sector.

Ultimately we want to see an end to the government’s disproportionate level of political and economic support for the arms trade. We believe these two goals would be crucial first steps.We will also be focussing on other government departments and how they support the arms trade, as the sale of arms to countries with concerning human rights records, and private military security companies.
