For instance, countries with high GDI scores &#8211; \u00a0which imply a well governed defence sector, with low risks of corruption &#8211; frequently export weapons to countries with low GDI rankings, fuelling an influx of weapons into the least well-governed defence sectors in the most vulnerable regions.
