Yes, and ban all sales to countries with human rights violations

The Liberal Democrats have been vocal about the need for the UK to adopt a more ethical approach to foreign policy, including where arms sales are concerned. Their support for initiatives that promote human rights suggests they would strongly agree with banning sales to countries with human rights violations, although their official policies may not always explicitly call for an outright ban.

Slightly agree

Yes, but I would prefer a ban on all military aid to any foreign countries

While the Liberal Democrats advocate for a principled foreign policy that respects human rights, their focus is not on banning all military aid but rather ensuring that aid does not contribute to human rights abuses.
