Explanation:
U.S.Government Foreign Military Financed ("FMF") contracts

"utilisés dans des hostilités, ou pourraient l’être.
35. Le Comité note que, selon l’information communiquée par l’État partie, le financement de forces étrangères est susceptible de ne pas être accordé à des pays dont les groupes armés, étatiques ou bénéficiant du soutien de l’État, enrôlent des enfants. Toutefois, il regrette qu’une telle restriction puisse être levée dans certaines circonstances, si les intérêts nationaux des États-Unis le justifient. Le Comité prend note avec satisfaction du projet de loi de 2007 sur la prévention du recrutement d’enfants soldats qui, s’il était adopté, limiterait l’aide militaire aux pays dont les forces étatiques ou paramilitaires enrôlent et utilisent notoirement des enfants soldats.

35.
The Committee notes information from the State party that Foreign Military Financing
(FMF) may not be provided to Governments where the State or State-supported armed groups recruit children, however the Committee regrets that this restriction may be waivered under certain circumstances if deemed important to the national interests of the United States. The Committee notes as positive the draft Child Soldiers Prevention Act of 2007 which, if adopted, would restrict military assistance for countries where State forces or paramilitaries are known to recruit and use child soldiers."

neutral  Daryo: ce qui est en fait "financé" c'est les contrats de ventes - l'argent est donné aux fournisseurs aux Etats-unis, les armées étrangères ne voient pas un sous!

Foreign Military Financing

The Arms Export Control Act provides the president with authority to transfer U.S. defense articles and services (including those related to construction) to friendly countries and allies. Under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program, the Department of Defense (DOD) procures the goods or services from the U.S. contractor on behalf of the foreign government recipient. Under the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program, DOD provides grants — principally to Israel and Egypt — for the purchase of U.S. goods and services.
