Congress can tighten the rules on U.S. weapons
U.S.-made weapons have been used in wars and crackdowns by governments accused of serious abuses. This cause pushes for stronger oversight and clear human-rights limits on U.S. arms exports. Winning means passing at least one law that restricts sales to countries with poor human-rights records within 24 months.
The United States sells weapons around the world. When those weapons are used in unlawful attacks or repression, civilians pay the price.
Stronger guardrails can reduce harm, protect U.S. credibility, and make sure weapons sold in America’s name are not linked to war crimes or human rights abuses.
Arms makers and their allies lobby hard to keep sales flowing, and many leaders see arms deals as a tool of foreign policy. Current rules also make it hard for Congress to stop a sale once the executive branch wants it.
