UN Embargo Violation Suspected in Sudan After French Weapons System Found

Amnesty International has brought attention to the fact that vehicles used in the conflict are equipped with French-made Galix defense systems, which are allegedly being used in violation of a United Nations arms embargo. Furthermore, it is reported that these Galix systems were fitted onto armored personnel carriers built by the United Arab Emirates. The use of these systems in the conflict raises concerns about the possible breach of international laws and regulations, as the UAE is legally allowed to import arms from France, but it is unclear if these systems were legally exported to Sudan.
