Sweden with a tiny population of about 9 million people is today the world’s eighth largest arms exporter. Four years ago I designed a folder about the Swedish arms export. It been up-dated once and now it is also published in English.
A quote from the folder:
“But maintaining a leading role in the international arms market is not without its share of consequences. To be precise, there are four: Swedish arms help fuel wars and conflicts, contribute to violations of human rights, contribute to poverty and strengthen dictatorships.”
Our clients are four Swedish NGO:s: Amnesty Sweden, Diakonia, Swedish Fellowship of Reconciliation, Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society.
