State Department Issues 23 Debarments

The State Department issued statutory debarment for 23 people for violations of the Arms Export Control Act, the agency said in a notice. The State Department stressed that they are blocked from participating in activities regulated by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, including brokering activities, exports and temporary imports. The debarment period will last for three years, at which time the people can apply for reinstatement of export privileges, the agency said. If their export privileges are not reinstated, they remain debarred.
