Omega Research Foundation Source: Brazilian Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade The data presented in this table highlights the significant growth in exports by Condor from 2009 to 2012. The imprecise nature of the data does not allow us to ascertain whether this growth has continued since then, but the company has at the very least consolidated exports since 2012. Some of the exports by Brazilian companies have been to regimes with poor human rights records, including one instance of equipment discovered in a country under UN arms embargo. In 2013, the UN Group of Experts on Cote d'Ivoire observed Condor-manufactured grenade launchers and associated ammunition in Danané, Sinématiali and Boundiali. Brazilian authorities informed the Group of Experts they had sold the equipment to the État major particulier of the Presidency of Burkina Faso, providing an end-user certificate stipulating that re-exportation would be subject to their authorization.178 The Group of Experts noted they had not been informed of this transfer, in violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2045 (2012). Omega wrote to Condor to ask what controls are in place to ensure purported end users do not reexport Condor products without receiving authorization from the Brazilian authorities. Condor replied that the company provided all information requested by the UN regarding the case mentioned above and that the legal procedures imposed on the company had been followed.179 In addition, the company said that ‘every contract, export or training in any country in which Condor operates is always based on the highest degree of ethics, respect and liability always in line with institutional approvals in this industry’. 178 Mid-term Report of the Group of Experts on Cote d'Ivoire presented to the UN Security Council, 14 October 2013, UN Doc.
