Discussion | SA ordered to suspend arms exports to military juntas

JOHANNESBURG - South Africa has been ordered to suspend arms exports to countries engaged in coups, war crimes and genocide.

The SALC also sought a review and setting aside of permits that facilitated the transfer of arms to war-torn Myanmar in Asia.
