👉 An export weapon, also known as a lethal technology transfer or arms embargo exception, refers to the practice of allowing countries or entities that are subject to international sanctions or restrictions on arms exports to acquire advanced weaponry, typically through illicit means. This often involves circumventing official export controls and regulations by exploiting loopholes, engaging in black market transactions, or using third-party intermediaries. The intent behind exporting such weapons can range from enhancing military capabilities to destabilizing adversaries or exerting political leverage. However, exporting these weapons can violate international laws and norms, contributing to regional conflicts and human rights abuses.
