Target Audience: Who is France Selling Military Equipment to?

At the Second Conference of States Parties of the Arms Trade Treaty in Geneva, human rights activists accused Paris of exporting military hardware to countries that use it against civilians, the Russian edition of Radio France Internationale (RFI) reported, citing the investigation website Mediapart. RFI quoted Rob Perkins, an expert from the non-governmental organization Control Arms, as saying that they condemn the United States, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and other European countries for selling arms to nations which are part of the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen.
