# The Southern Africa Litigation Centre says it has a strong legal case against the South African government over arms export permits granted to the United States. The organisation wants the High Court in Pretoria to suspend or overturn the permits, arguing South African-supplied weapons may breach domestic law and undermine international peace and security. The government is opposing the application. The Centre says the case will now proceed to a full hearing, where the court will consider whether the permits comply with South Africa’s arms control laws.
