This Government supports a responsible defence and security industry that helps meet
the legitimate defence needs of other states, and contributes to their security and
law and order. We take our arms export responsibilities very seriously and we operate
one of the most rigorous and transparent arms export control regimes in the world.
All defence and dual-use exports are required to meet the UK’s strict export control
legislation and adhere to the UK international commitments including international
treaties and obligations. Each application for an export licence is subject to rigorous
case-by-case assessment against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing
Criteria. Risks around human rights violations are a key part of our assessment.
