<p>We continue to monitor developments in Chile closely. The UK Government considers all our export applications thoroughly against a strict risk assessment framework and keep all licences under careful and continual review as standard. We rigorously examine each export licence application on a case-by-case basis against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria. Risks around human rights violations or abuses are a key part of our assessment. The UK Government does not approve export licences for equipment and technology where we assess there is a clear risk that it might be used for internal repression.</p>
