In a statement the Haldane Society also "condemns in the strongest possible terms the facilitation of this invasion by the U.S. and the complicity of EU states, including the UK".

The statement ends with the following demands: 

"The Haldane Society of Socialist Lawyers therefore calls upon the UK government to fulfil its obligations under international law not to recognise or render aid or assistance in Turkey’s invasion of Rojava by immediately:

Ending all weapons sales and exports from the UK to Turkey

Ending all UK provision of security and intelligence to Turkey

Using its position at the UN Security Council to achieve a no-fly zone over Rojava as well as sanctions, particularly an arms embargo, against Turkey.

Ending the EU-Turkey deal, which provides billions of euros to the Turkish state and enables Erdogan to weaponise the suffering of millions of displaced people in attempts to blackmail the EU into complicity with its invasion."
