Skirting the Law: Post-CPA Arms Flows to Sudan (HSBA Working Paper 18)

As well as reviewing Sudan’s post-2005 arms flows, Skirting the Law: Post-CPA Arms Flows to Sudan documents the scope of the escalating procurement of major weapons systems by government forces in both Northern and Southern Sudan. The scale of new arms acquisitions, apparently ongoing in the North since the 1990s and initiated in the South shortly after the signing of the CPA in 2005, provides one indication of the intensity of a conflict that might follow the CPA’s collapse, with enormous negative consequences for human security.
