Switzerland considers relaxing arms export rules, including sales to Argentina
What happened
The Swiss parliament and government have proposed relaxing the country’s arms export rules, allowing Swiss-made weapons to be sold to certain countries involved in armed conflicts. The proposal would permit exports to Argentina, as well as to the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and EU countries. Swiss voters are scheduled to decide on the reform on November 29.
