Embargo on Arms Exports to Lebanon Announced
December 2006
A few months ago we gave you the run down on the State Department’s announcement of its arms embargo on Lebanon. The scope of the arms embargo has not changed, but State did make it official by putting a notice in the Federal Register on December 15, 2006. There is a comprehensive embargo on ITAR exports, reexports and transfers to Lebanon, with the exception that there is no embargo for transfers specifically authorized by the Government of Lebanon or the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).
