".
We have of course voted against this report, which has the ridiculous intention of introducing an ethical dimension to the arms trade. We are against arms dealing, whether it be official, unofficial or illegal. And it is very difficult to distinguish between these three categories of dealing considering the number of arms deals taking place involving ministers, whether still in office or not, or supposedly ‘official’ persons!
It would be preferable to dedicate the productive capacity of society to the manufacture of goods other than arms. And it is truly criminal to plunge poverty-stricken countries further into debt by selling, even legally, arms to their leaders so that those leaders can then go on to use them against their own people."@en1
