The SAFEGUARD Act of 2023, also known as the Safeguarding Human Rights in Arms Exports Act of 2023, aims to enhance oversight and accountability in U.S. arms exports to ensure they do not contribute to human rights abuses. The bill proposes measures to strengthen the review process for arms sales, increase transparency in arms export decisions, and prevent weapons from reaching entities that may misuse them. It seeks to uphold human rights standards by imposing stricter regulations on arms transfers and promoting responsible defense trade practices. If enacted, this legislation could have a significant impact on how the U.S. regulates its arms exports and their potential implications for global human rights issues.
