The Federal Constitutional Court of Germany has affirmed the government’s broad discretion in arms export decisions, emphasizing its responsibility to protect human rights amid ongoing concerns over exports to Israel. The court found that existing legal frameworks are sufficient, despite criticisms regarding their effectiveness in preventing violations of international law in Gaza. Human rights organizations argue that this ruling undermines access to justice for those affected by German arms exports. They stress that Germany must adhere to international law and halt arms exports that could contribute to genocide or serious humanitarian law violations.
