Our groundbreaking report ‘Smoking Guns’ (tni.org/en/publication/smoking-guns) found that European arms exports are responsible for the displacement of at least 1.1 million people. The research joined the dots between Europe’s arms exports, forced displacement and migration. In a follow-up event to the report on September 28, 2021, we held a discussion with an expert panel on the implications of these alarming findings for European policy: Which steps need to be taken to control arms exports and prevent further displacement?


Panel
*Dr. Hannah Neumann (MEP, The Greens/European Free Alliance)
*Catherine Woollard (Director, European Council on Refugees and Exiles)
*Andrew Feinstein (Author ‘The Shadow World: Inside the Global Arms Trade’)
*Apostolis Fotiadis (Researcher/Co-author 'Smoking Guns' report)

*Leone Hadavi (OSINT EU Arms Investigator)


Moderator
*Niamh Ní Bhriain (Transnational Institute)
