Mark Smith

diplomat United Kingdom

Mark Smith is a former UK diplomat who recently made headlines for his allegations regarding the UK's arms export controls. After resigning from the Foreign Office, he published an article in the Guardian claiming that the UK government has manipulated findings related to arms sales, particularly in connection with Saudi Arabia and Israel, potentially crossing into complicity with war crimes. His testimony highlights a culture of silence and obstruction within the Foreign Office, where officials are reportedly pressured to suppress dissenting views on arms exports, raising significant ethical concerns about the UK's role in international conflicts.
