Economic
growth is the main purpose of capitalism which drives the global
society and shapes the world.
To produce and to consume are
imperative to capitalism.
Within this framework the trade of arms
is flourishing as a worldwide industry and is a major contributor to
some countries' economies, despite the fact that this industry is in
clear conflict with human rights.
Arms fairs are held all over
the world and over the years, have grown in number and size.
These
fairs are market places for selling lethal weapons and illegal
torture equipment to human-rights abusing regimes.
