international weapons sanctions drones
Would it be illegal to sell a drone defense system to a nation under an arms embargo?
<p>Will it be illegal to sell anti-drone systems to any nation like Gaza? Because it's not a weapon system, it's more like a defensive technology. Would it still violate an arms embargo?</p>

<p>In the US, it is illegal to sell screwdrivers to Gaza without a license, see 31 <a href="https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=0ab6651e369798de0dd2faae265ded08&amp;mc=true&amp;node=se31.3.595_1409&amp;rgn=div8" rel="noreferrer">CFR 595.409</a>. There are numerous rules pertaining to the Palestinian Authority staring <a href="https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/retrieveECFR?gp=&amp;SID=0ab6651e369798de0dd2faae265ded08&amp;mc=true&amp;n=pt31.3.595&amp;r=PART&amp;ty=HTML#se31.3.595_1508" rel="noreferrer">here</a>. <a href="https://www.pmddtc.state.gov/embargoed_countries/" rel="noreferrer">Dept. of State</a> has a partial list of countries and their associated restrictions, if you want "like Gaza", and note that they warn you that this is not a complete list. If you are specifically interested in weapons-related restrictions, the US Munitions List is <a href="https://www.pmddtc.state.gov/regulations_laws/documents/official_itar/ITAR_Part_121.pdf" rel="noreferrer">here</a>. There is no generic "anti-drone" system, so you would have to look at the specifics of a system to see if it is on the restricted list, or not.</p>
