<p>The UK takes its arms export responsibilities very seriously and operates one of
the most robust arms export control regimes in the world. We do not licence the supply
of equipment that would be in breach of an arms embargo, which would provoke or prolong
armed conflicts, or aggravate existing tensions or conflicts, or if there is a clear
risk that the items might be used for internal repression.</p><p>The British Government
has not authorised the supply of arms to South Sudan. We have consistently called
for a UN arms embargo to be implemented with immediate effect. Such an embargo would
prevent any sale of arms to South Sudan globally.</p>
