Embargo that applies to weaponry
An arms embargo is a restriction or a set of sanctions that applies either solely to weaponry or also to "dual-use technology." An arms embargo may serve one or more purposes:
- to signal disapproval of the behavior of a certain actor
- to maintain neutrality in an ongoing conflict
- as a peace mechanism that is part of a peace process to resolve an armed conflict[1]
- to limit the ability of an actor to inflict violence on others
- to weaken a country's military capabilities before a foreign intervention
