Idiot, where does it say that the US government ITSELF cannot gift weapons and other aid to foreign factions and militant groups?

Something they’ve been doing for the last 70 odd years… :roll:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

This kind of legislation is for the control of COMPANIES that are involed in military hardware but a country's government is not a registerd company! :roll:

Grow up... :)

No nut it looks like you might be.

There is such a thing as Military End Use.

So what is MEU?

What is ‘military end-use’ activity?

The legal definition for ‘military end-use’ is provided in the Customs Act 1901 and states that:

...goods are or may be for a military end-use if the goods are or may be for use in operations, exercises or other activities conducted by an armed force or an armed group, whether or not the armed force or armed group forms part of the armed forces of the government of a foreign country.

Read the material. I have given you credible official links.

They are not even allowed to sell riot gear to Turkish Police if there is any evidence of the slightest of HR violations against protesting citizens.

The chances of selling or supplying weapons to ISIL is ZERO!

MEU export example

An Australia company, Company A, is a manufacturer of riot gear, including batons and shields, and a regular exporter of goods controlled and uncontrolled under the DSGL. Company A receives an order for several sets of riot gear to be delivered to the Police Special Response Unit (PSRU) of Country B.

The PSRU is known to conduct para-military activities and work closely with the military forces of Country B. The PSRU is also known to have been involved in, or alleged to have been involved in, a number of human rights abuses in Country B including political arrests and ethnic killings. The equipment would provide a capability upgrade to the PSRU to coordinate military style activities.

Company A submits a completed Application to Export Controlled Goods and Technology form seeking DECO's assessment of thecontrol status of the goods. DECO conducts an assessment of the proposed export and establishes that the equipment is not listed in the DSGL but that the goods are likely to be valuable to the PSRU in the conduct of para-military operations. There is a possibility that Australia’s international relations might be prejudiced due to the equipment being used to facilitate further human rights abuses being sourced and provided from Australia.

The Australian Government has strengthened Australia�s export control framework to include controls on the export of goods that are not normally controlled, but could support or contribute to an adverse military end-use activity.

DECO provides advice to the Minister for Defence who decides to use s112BA of the Customs Act 1901 to issue a notice prohibiting the export of the riot gear by Company A to the PSRU in Country B.
