Selling weapons to almost all of the juntas in the world is really a thing to be ashamed off . Supporting junta is really equals to appreciating the killings of thousands of innocent people in that countries.

Unfortunately, the government is just too willing to get over wrongs like the Falklands and move on..

It seems many left leaning publications take a much more pro-everyone but Britain and British people, regardless of the facts. More radical notions are frequently posted including the colonial past of the Spanish in Argentina and it's unpleasant usage of the weapons it buys and threatened us with.

What??
The UK arms industry is a jewel in our economy. We make and sell the best weapons in the world - its what the UK is good at.

"placing the interests of the arms industry ahead of being a good global citizen" - bring it on. Having the capability to supply arms provides us disproportionate with influence on the world stage. Britain as an arms supplier has more influence in the world that the "good global citizens". Wouldnt you rather have Britain supplying the weapons rather than other countries?

Prosecutors at the United Nations war crimes tribunal in the Hague have been working to “streamline” their case against the former Bosnian Serb president, Radovan Karadzic, in a bid to avoid a repeat of the farcical case against the former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic, which dragged on for four years before Milosevic’s death of a heart attack, in 2006.

Ireland’s actions (or inaction) merit further examination.

We could always go back to Labour's ethical foreign policy?

Inherited from whom? From the previous military govts!

great informative piece of writing that highlights the shamefull dealings our leaders have been complicit in .. the rule of law seems meaningless to those in power, who should be brought to justice over these criminal actions, you sell guns to mass murders , i would of thought that makes you guilty of complicity. as with UN security resolutions , some are ignored by certain countries and nothing happens ? others are justification for international outrage and war. bizzare but welcome to the earths ruling elite.

So the Socialists flogged guns to the junta and then voted to run away, while the Tories stood firm and defeated it in battle, is that right? Much what I would have expected.

@DanielJ

So your preferred solution to the hypocritical and duplicitous dealings of the British government is mass murder at the hands of a murderous theocracy? (You definitely did not say "vanish from the pages of time")

Why must people like you make the world I have to live in that little more unbearable?

'A military coup in 1976 brought a wave of terror to Argentina. The ‘dirty war’ which the coup ushered in was a period of state terrorism in which as many as 30,000 people were killed or ‘disappeared’. Political parties and trade unions were banned, whilst religious groups had to apply for approval from the state.'

So, according to many people, it was wrong to sell arms to that kind of regime but it was fine and dandy to hand the people living in the Falklands over to it?
