The U.K. Defeats A Legal Challenge to Its Arms Sales – Or Does It>?, Forbes, July 24, 2017.

NGOs that backed the challenge, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, are downhearted. But on a closer look, Britain's victory over the legal challenge to its arms sales doesn’t give anyone much comfort."
