Gulf Cooperation Council and potential GCC-UK Trade Agreement
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is a political and economic alliance established in 1981 between six member states in the Gulf: the Kingdom of Bahrain, the State of Kuwait, the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Qatar, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
This Briefing looks at the trading relationship between the UK and the GCC, the role of defence, the GCC member states' and UK's approach to sustainable development, including human rights, LGBT rights, gender discrimination, labour rights and climate change.
This briefing explains why TJM does not believe that an FTA between the UK and the GCC is desirable or will help the UK achieve its economic and sustainability objectives.
