Imposition of Lethal Military Equipment Sanctions Against the Government of Kazakhstan and Partial Waiver of These Sanctions

The United States Government has determined that the Government of Kazakhstan transferred lethal military equipment to a country determined by the Secretary of State to be a state sponsor of terrorism. The United States Government determined that, despite the transfers, furnishing assistance to the Government of Kazakhstan, other than assistance furnished to a Government of Kazakhstan-owned entity, a private Czech entity and three officials from the private Czech entity that were specifically involved in the transfer of lethal military equipment, is important to the national interests of the United States. Further, it is the policy of the United States Government to deny all U.S. Government assistance to these entities and foreign persons.
