"Export Control Failures: A Look Back at Past Mistakes A scathing critique of the current export control system has revealed that authorities may not need to overhaul their strategies, but rather revisit past failures to prevent similar mistakes from happening again. A recent analysis suggests that existing autopsy reports from previous export control incidents hold the key to improving the system's effectiveness.

But will officials take heed of these recommendations and use the lessons of the past to shape a better future?"


Today’s export control authorities don't need a new screening strategy — they simply need to dust off the autopsy reports they already have.
