Ngo-Apreli 14, Guardian umbiko ukuba iiNkqubo zeBAE zithengise i- £ 15bn (malunga ne-CAD $ 26.3 yezigidigidi) kwiingalo nakwiinkonzo zomkhosi wase-Saudie kule minyaka mihlanu idlulileyo.
Inqaku elo licaphula u-Andrew Smith we-UK-based Campaign Against the Arms Trade (CAAT) othi, “Kule minyaka mihlanu idlulileyo ndibone imeko enzima yabantu baseYemen, kodwa kwiBAE ibe lishishini njengesiqhelo. Imfazwe yenzeke kuphela ngenxa yeenkampani ezenza izixhobo kunye noorhulumente abazimiseleyo ukuyixhasa. ”
Izicwangciso zomhlala phantsi zibonakala zidlala indima nazo.
Umanyano osekwe kwi-Ottawa ukuchasana noRhwebo lweArms (COAT) uqaphele ukuba iBhodi yaseCanada yePension Investment Board (CPPIB) yayine $ 9 yezigidi notyalo-mali kwiiNkqubo ze-BAE ngo-2015 kunye $ 33 yezigidi ngowama-2017/18. Ngokubhekisele kwi-9 yezigidi zeedola, World Beyond War Unayo phawula, "Olu lutyalo-mali kwi-BAE yase-UK, akukho nanye kwinkxaso-mali yase-US."
La manani akwabonisa ukuba utyalomali lwe-CPPIB kwi-BAE lenyuke emva kokuba iSaudi Arabia iqalile ukumelana ne-Yemen kuyo Matshi 2015.
Guardian wongeze wathi, “Amawakawaka abantu aye abulawa ukusukela oko kwaqala umlo wamakhaya e-Yemen ngo-Matshi 2015 ngoqhushumbo olungakhethiyo ngumdibaniso okhokelwa yi-Saudi Arabia onikezelwa yi-BAE nabanye abenzi beengalo zaseNtshona. Umbutho wezomkhosi wobukumkani utyholwa ngokuba ngoyena ubekek 'ityala kwabaninzi abangama-12,600 XNUMX ababuleweyo. ”
Inqaku lelo likwaqaqambisa, "Ukuthunyelwa kweengalo zaseBritane eSaudi ezinokusetyenziswa eYemen kumiswe ngehlobo lowe-2019 xa iNkundla yeziBheno yagweba ukuba ngoJuni 2019 ukuba akukho vavanyo lusemthethweni lwenziwe ngabaphathiswa ukubona ukuba iSaudi umanyano olwelelanayo lwaphule umthetho welizwe jikelele wokunceda abantu. ”
Akubonakali ngathi urhulumente waseCanada okanye i-CPPIB ibonakalise okuninzi kumthetho wobuntu welinye ilizwe nokuba.
Ngo-Okthobha ka-2018, iindaba zeHlabathi umbiko ukuba uMphathiswa wezeMali waseCanada uBill Morneau wabuzwa (nguLungu lePalamente uCharlie Angus) malunga "nokubanjwa kwe-CPPIB kwinkampani yecuba, umenzi wezixhobo zomkhosi kunye neenkampani eziqhuba iintolongo zabucala zaseMelika."
Inqaku elo liphawulile, "uMorneau uphendule wathi umphathi wepenshoni, ojonga ngaphezulu kwe- $ 366 yezigidigidi zeempahla ze-CPP, uphila 'kwimigangatho ephezulu yokuziphatha nokuziphatha.'”
Kwangelo xesha, isithethi seBhodi yeBhodi yoTyalo mali lweCanada phendula, "Injongo ye-CPPIB kukufuna ubungakanani benqanaba lokubuya ngaphandle komngcipheko wokulahleka. Le njongo iyodwa ithetha ukuba i-CPPIB ayilukhuphi ngaphandle utyalomali lomntu ngamnye ngokusekwe kwezentlalo, ezenkolo, ezoqoqosho okanye ezopolitiko.
Ngo-Epreli ngo-2019, iLungu lePalamente u-Alistair MacGregor phawula ukuba ngamaxwebhu apapashwe ngo-2018, "i-CPPIB ikwaphethe amashumi ezigidi zeedola kwiikhontrakthi zokhuselo ezinje ngeGeneral Dynamics kunye noRaytheon…"
UMacGregor wongeza ukuba ngoFebruwari 2019, wazisa “iBhili yamaLungu abucala u-C-431 kwiNdlu yeeManyano, eza kulungisa imigaqo-nkqubo, imigangatho kunye neenkqubo ze-CPPIB ukuqinisekisa ukuba ziyahambelana neendlela zokuziphatha kunye nokusebenza, abantu, nokuthathelwa ingqalelo kwamalungelo okusingqongileyo. ”
Ukulandela unyulo luka-Okthobha u-2019, iMacGregor yazisa kwakhona umthetho oyilwayo kwakhona ngoFebruwari 26 walo nyaka njenge I-Bill C-231. Ukubona ividiyo yemizuzu emibini yaloo mthetho ucetywayo uziswa eNdlwini, nceda nqakraza apha.
Njengoko sisebenza ukuqinisekisa ukuba ipenshini yoluntu ivumela abantu ukuba bathathe umhlala phantsi ngoxolo lwengqondo, masiqiniseke ukuba ayiyondleko yoxolo emhlabeni.
