Specifically, one of Elsevier's subsidaries organized the Defence Systems and Equipment International Exhibition(DSEi), a large arms fair in the U.K. The authors, appealing to the Hippocratic oath called for the publisher to divest itself of all business interests that threaten human, and especially civilian, health and well-being."<br />
