If funding is provided for these weapons, and they are purchased and in the hands of a government or state that already has serious issues with the rule of law, how will Article 14 and these controls and audits in the loan agreements prevent that government or state from, for example, misusing those weapons? The example I provided was those weapons being used against a civilian population. Will Ms Lo Bue Oddo explain how these controls and audits will prevent that if the weapons are purchased and in the possession of that state?
