Bill overview
The Values in Arms Export Act of 2022 aims to strengthen oversight of U.S. arms sales by requiring a greater focus on human rights and the law of armed conflict. It establishes a Human Rights and Law of War Oversight Board to review recipient countries and assess the risk of U.S. defense articles being used to violate these principles. The bill also mandates risk assessments for arms sales and imposes potential sanctions on countries that fail to meet human rights standards, designating Saudi Arabia and the UAE as initial countries of concern.
