1187CONTROL ON WEAPONS’ FLOWS TO CONFLICT ZONES: RULES AND
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
International transfer of conventional arms has gradually increased in the last decade,
bringing Europen States alongside the United States as the world’s leading arms suppliers.
Most of weapons’ flows are directed to Africa, Asia and Oceania, moving about 60 billion
dollars a year.
The European Union has adopted common bindings rules – within the Foreign and
Security Common Policy – governing transfer of conventional arms to third countries and
limiting discretion of Member States in view of the respect, inter alia, of international
human rights law.
This essays focuses on the issues linked to the application of the Common Position
2008/944/CFSP, which does not provide for a centralized control mechanism; the latter
would foster uniform application of the established criteria, whereas the Common Position
has not been rightly applied by the Member States, as evidenced by the case of massive
arms transfers to Libya, especially in 2011.
