This matter is so serious that now, in the United Kingdom, MPs have obtained the right to vet arms sales from their country to anywhere the world. This move has created quite a stir in that country, even though the decision is not retroactive and British MPs cannot take action on this matter of arms sales to the Western Sahara.
Tämä aiheutti suurta hälyä Isossa-Britanniassa, vaikkei päätöstä voida soveltaa takautuvasti, joten Britannian kansanedustajat eivät voi toimia Länsi-Saharan aseidenmyyntitapauksessa.
