</p><p>The UK operates one of the most<del class="ministerial"> thorough and</del>

in the world. The Government will not grant export licences where to do so would be
inconsistent with the Consolidated EU and National Arms Exports Licensing Criteria,
which include<ins class="ministerial"> the respect for</ins> <del class="ministerial">an
assessment of</del> human rights and fundamental freedoms in the country of final

revoked at any time if the situation changes in Cameroon<ins class="ministerial">
