From doing a genocide to supporting a genocide : German Federal Constitutional Court dismisses constitutional complaint against arms exports to Israel

The German Federal Constitutional Court dismissed a constitutional complaint against arms exports to Israel, denying effective legal protection to those endangered by these exports. The court ruled that Germany’s Basic Law does not provide an enforceable individual right to specific state actions. The European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) argues that this decision undermines the fundamental right to effective legal protection and shields state action from judicial review, despite the risk of weapons being used in violations of international law.
