Amnesty International has criticized the Scottish government for funding arms companies that may be involved in the manufacture and supply chains of weapons used in potential war crimes. The government has been called out for its inconsistency in highlighting the UK government's complicity in arms sales to Israel while turning a blind eye to its own financial support for arms companies. The PCS union, representing civil servants within Scottish Enterprise, has also raised concerns about potential complicity in war crimes. The Scottish government maintains that its support for arms companies is 'business as usual' and that staff would not be affected.
