Analysis of the data on this basis, suggests that between 2012 and early 2020 Condor exported weapons and specific fatalities to the use of Condor products; however, publicly available reports do suggest that some of equipment to a total of 79 countries across 7 regions, including Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Key markets the deaths were caused by the use of tear gas cartridges fired directly at protesters134. These reports led the for the company included the Democratic Republic of Congo ($5.3 million USD), Angola ($5.6 million USD), Brazilian Foreign Ministry in June 2017 to suspend sales of tear gas to the country and to intervene to stop a Bolivia ($6.5 million USD) and Chile ($ 5.4 million USD). However, by far Condor’s largest export market was the shipment of Condor ‘tear gas canisters’ that had already been negotiated135. Official information indicates that Middle East with approximately $118 million USD (64.5%) worth of equipment sold to countries in the region, including, UAE ($49 million USD), Oman ($29 million USD), Turkey ($14 million USD), and Saudi Arabia ($6.4 Condor exported goods worth around $11 million USD to Venezuela between 2010 and 2011136. 4.3.2 million USD). Case Study: Taurus While there is nothing unusual in a company seeking to export its products internationally, the data analysed Today Taurus is one of the largest and most well-established manufacturers of small arms in South above highlights a number of examples where Condor’s commercial practices appear to contradict the company’s America, with production units in both Brazil and the United States137. Taurus specialises in the production of purported commitment to ‘the basic principles of the right to life and respect for human rights’125. pistols but manufactures a wide range of firearms, including shotguns, and semi and automatic rifles for the Over the past eight years, Condor has supplied a significant amount of less lethal policing equipment including tear gas to the Bahraini authorities. During this period, the Bahraini government have engaged in the violent repression of pro-democracy and anti-government protestors, using tear gas on an unprecedented scale, often at close range and in confined spaces. According to Physicians for Human Rights, between 2011 and 2012 exposure to tear gas led to the deaths of at least 34 people . In 2015, the death of Abdulaziz Al-Saeed was 126 reportedly linked to the use of Condor manufactured products127 and led the advocacy group Americans for Democracy & Human Rights in Bahrain to submit a complaint against the company for alleged violations of the 2011 OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises128. There have been repeated attempts by Bahraini activists and the international community to stop supplies of tear gas to Bahrain. In 2014, the South Korean government suspended shipments of tear gas to Bahrain indefinitely129. A year later, the European Parliament passed a resolution calling for an end to the supply of EUproduced tear gas to Bahrain130. Despite this international condemnation of the actions of the Bahraini authorities and the evidence of misuse, the data published by the Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade suggests that Condor continues to export to Bahrain. Between 2012 and 2020, the data shows exports of law enforcement and security equipment to Bahrain worth a total of $13.3 million USD. Although the majority of this total was exported in 2014 ($10.1 million USD), recent figures show that around $2 million USD worth of equipment was exported to the country from the Nova Iguaçu municipality in 2018 alone131. At a regional level, Condor products have also been widely used in Venezuela, where in March 2014 it was reported that 60% of the 2,310 tear gas cartridges collected following an intervention by Venezuelan National Police and National Guard during a student protest were manufactured by the company132. More recently, there was evidence that Condor products were used during the violent repression of protests in 2017 during which around 80 people are reported to have been killed133. There is no publicly available information attributing 50  civilian and law enforcement markets. In addition to manufacturing Taurus branded weapons, Taurus also owns the rights to manufacture Rossi branded short-barrel firearms, and in 2012 purchased the single-action pistol manufacturer Heritage Manufacturing. While the majority of Taurus exports are intended for the civilian market (in particular those to the US), Taurus products are also used by a number of law enforcement agencies around the world, including in Singapore138 and Argentina139. ▼ Figure 4: Taurus Exports worldwide 2012-2018.
