According to the Control Arms Campaign every one of the 13 UN arms embargoes imposed in the last decade has been repeatedly violated.
And despite hundreds of embargo breakers being named in UN reports, only a handful have been successfully prosecuted.
“Over the past ten years systematic violations of United Nations arms embargoes have met with almost no successful prosecutions. Unscrupulous arms dealers continue to get away with grave human rights abuses and make a mockery of the UN Security Council’s efforts," said Irene Khan, Amnesty International’s Secretary General.
