This document is based on currently available scientific evidence on treatment for drug use disorders and sets out a framework for the implementation of the Standards, in line with principles of public health care. The Standards identify major components and features of effective systems for the tre...atment of drug use disorders. They describe treatment modalities and interventions to match the needs of people at different stages and severities of drug use disorders, in a manner consistent with the treatment of any chronic disease or health condition. The Standards are aspirational, and such, national or local treatment services or systems need not attempt to meet all the standards and recommendations made in this document all at once. However over time, progressive quality improvement, with ‘evidence-based and ethical practice’ as an objective, can and should be expected to achieve better organized, more effective and ethical systems and services for people with drug use disorders.

Prevention strategies based on scientific evidence working with families, schools, and communities can ensure that children and youth, especially the most marginalized and poor, grow and stay healthy and safe into adulthood and old age. For every dollar ...spent on prevention, at least ten can be saved in future health, social and crime costs.

artillery  shells,  in  cities,  towns  and  villages  and  in  other  populated  areas  
has devastating humanitarian consequences. Explosive weapons act mainly 
through the projection of blast and fragmentation wi...thin an area. Their use, 
in  populated  areas,  causes  severe  suffering  to  civilians,  both  in  terms  of  
death and serious injury resulting directly from the explosion, and in terms 
of damage to property and public infrastructure, which can indirectly affect 
civilian well-being and survival, sometimes for many years after a conflict 
has ended. Explosive weapons also leave behind explosive remnants that 
pose a threat to populations until those remnants are removed. [...] The study finds that the regulation of explosive weapons under international 
law  and  policy  is  fragmentary  and  incoherent.

LEEP can be performed in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia. The procedure can be both diagnostic and therapeutic, and replaces traditional follow-up evaluations and treatments such as cold knife conization and hysterectomy
