We don't know the details of the risk assessment, but I would emphasize that we do know without a doubt that they have been diverted. I want to emphasize the point that this is not a matter of opinion, speculation or interpretation, or that we're trying to stretch the perceived evidence. This is a watertight case. They have been diverted period, full stop. In fact, we're surprised that the investigation is taking so long and that they haven't come back with a decision of what's going to happen.
You are right. This should have been caught at the risk assessment stage because there was a precedent, and these exports that have now been found in Nagorno-Karabakh should never have happened. The only conclusion we can arrive at—we've been following the Committees on Arms Export Controls for more than 30 years, and we've attended every conference of the Arms Trade Treaty— is that we have a very flawed risk assessment process. Anyone who doubts the notion that we have a flawed risk assessment process should ask him or herself how we can be selling arms to Saudi Arabia, one of the worst violators of human rights on the planet. How come we're selling arms to Turkey, which is known to be diverting these weapons, and not have a flawed risk assessment process?
These incidents have set the bar impossibly low.
