U.S. Implements Stringent Oversight on Defense Article Transfers
A National Security Memorandum outlines stringent oversight measures for the transfer of defense articles and services by the U.S. Departments of State and Defense. Aimed at ensuring adherence to international law and human rights standards, the memorandum requires credible assurances from recipient countries regarding the lawful use of transferred materials.
It mandates congressional reporting on the provision of defense articles, emphasizing accountability and transparency. The policy extends to defense services, emphasizing compliance with international law and promoting humanitarian assistance efforts. Waivers are permitted in exceptional national security circumstances, subject to congressional notification. The memorandum underscores the U.S. commitment to responsible arms transfer practices and humanitarian considerations in conflict zones.
