Australian Arms Sales on Display in Dubai: What's the Risk of Sudanese Atrocities?

More than 35 Australian companies will be represented at the Dubai International airshow, a self-described showcase for cutting-edge military aircraft and air defence technologies. The event, which took place in the United Arab Emirates, featured a range of Australian defence companies showcasing their products and services to international military delegations. According to reports, the Australian companies have exported nearly 300 million weapons over the past five years to the UAE, which has denied shipping weapons to a paramilitary group in Sudan. The UAE has been accused of providing military support to the Sudanese paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has been linked to human rights abuses and atrocities in the region. At the Dubai International airshow, a retired military officer fronting the Australia pavilion offered the key credibility of being in uniform for defence companies spruiking their wares. A unique advantage in attracting and engaging with visiting military delegations, this briefing note was shared by the head of the Australian pavilion, who stated, "Our presence here is to showcase Australia's capabilities in the defence sector and to build relationships with international partners." The Australian government has maintained that it has strict export controls in place to prevent the sale of arms to countries or groups that may use them for human rights abuses.
