CASE 01: GLOBAL NET German arms exports for genocide: Mauser rifles and Krupp cannons used in the genocide of Armenians by Ottoman armed forces (1895 – 1915)“.
Our historical research is documented: Regular Turkish troops and members of the „Gendarma“ and sometimes also German officers were involved in almost all actions in the systematic genocide of more than one million Armenians. Most of the aggressors were armed with Mauser rifles or carbines, and hundreds of Krupp cannons were in use. Weapons exported from Germany provided the material basis for the genocide, German officers
contributed to its ideological basis.

CASE 02: GLOBAL NET „The illegal Mexico deal – the exports of thousands and thousands of G36 assault rifles from Heckler & Koch to Mexican regions of conflict (from 2006 to 2009)“:
The criminal complaint filed by German anti-arms trade activist Jürgen Grässlin, chair of the Arms Information Centre in Germany, has led to the conviction of former Heckler & Koch employees and a fine of 3.7 million euros against Heckler & Koch. Activists and prosecutors were able to prove that 4702 type G36 assault rifles were illegally taken to forbidden provinces suffering from raging conflict in Mexico. Regardless of the court verdict, thousands have since been killed with G36 rifles in the Mexican drug war.
