\u201cCritical Chronicle of Heckler & Koch\u2019s rise to the global stage through the unrestrained export of small arms to human rights violating and warring states across the world\u201d<\/b><\/p>

Based in Germany and with subsidiaries in France, Great Britain and the USA, Heckler & Koch (H&K) is a world leader in the production and export of small arms (pistols, submachine guns, assault rifles, etc.). H&K sees itself as a reliable partner for the military, police and Special Forces of NATO countries.<\/p>

In contrast to the official \u201eChronicles\u201c, this \u201eCRITICAL COMPANY CHRONICLE H&K\u201c also names the dark sides of H&K AG and H&K GmbH (since the Second World War) \u2013 above all decades of arms transfers and licensing to states that violate human rights and wage wars. These critical chronicles gives perpetrators a face and a voice to victims all over the world.<\/p>

That H&K has learned nothing from its deadly history is illustrated by the illegal export of thousands of G36 rifles to troubled provinces in Mexico. The investigations that followed our criminal complaint in this case were scandalously mishandled by the public prosecutor\u2019s office. The verdict of the Stuttgart District Court consisting of acquittals or suspended prison sentences seems questionable. At least the company was sentenced to a fine and filed an appeal. For the first time in the history of H&K, illegal arms sales could be proven.<\/p>

In cooperation with filmmakers we were able to reach an audience of millions with the story. See case 02<\/a><\/p>

In March 2020, the Heckler & Koch management announced the consistent implementation of the \u201eGreen Country Strategy\u201c and the \u201eCode of Ethics and Conduct\u201c as a result of the dialogue with the critical shareholders of H&K. No other arms-exporting company in Germany has set itself such strict requirements \u2013 the Critical Shareholders will vigilantly monitor the implementation and the exceptions.<\/p>

The future of the heavily indebted arms manufacturer, which rejects the conversion to civilian production (arms conversion), and a victim fund, remains unclear.<\/p>

Dear friends of peace, dear ladies and gentlemen!<\/b><\/p>

For the first time in the company\u2019s history this year\u2018s Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Heckler & Koch AG will be held on August 27<\/b>th<\/b> 2020<\/b> online due to Corona. This is occurring in extremely turbulent times for the company: The majority ownership has changed hands from the previous majority shareholder Andreas Heeschen to the Luxembourg-based company CDE (Nikolas Walewski). It is also critical that the Federal Security Council recently approved H&K arms exports to South Korea and Singapore.<\/p>
