Event Summary

Amnesty International>>> has joined a criminal complaint against Oracle Corporation>>>'s Belgian subsidiary, alleging unlawful transit of military equipment, specifically Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II fighter jet components, to Israel>>>. The complaint, filed in Belgium — Liège>>>, Belgium>>>, by a coalition of civil society organizations including Vredesactie>>>, Human Rights League (France)>>>, and National Coordination of Action for Peace and Democracy>>>, claims Oracle Corporation>>> failed to obtain the required transit license under Walloon law. The shipment allegedly originated from United States — Hill Air Force Base>>> in the United States>>> in October 2024, passed through Belgium — Liège>>> airport, was transported by road to Germany — Cologne Bonn Airport>>> in Germany>>>, and then continued to Nevatim Airbase>>> in Israel>>>. Oracle Corporation>>> denies wrongdoing, stating it complies with all applicable laws and has strict screening procedures. However, Oracle Corporation>>> previously indicated that route reconfigurations due to airspace disruptions during the 2025 Iran>>>-Israel>>> conflict might have unintentionally routed military cargo through Belgium — Liège>>>. Amnesty International>>> and its partners argue that Belgium>>> and Belgium — Wallonia>>> authorities have a responsibility to prevent arms transfers that risk violating international humanitarian law, citing the International — International Criminal Court>>>'s advisory opinion and previous suspensions of export licenses to Israel>>> by Walloon authorities.
