This research project is comprised of a Final Report, 5 Annexed Explosive Weapons Studies, a Terminology paper and a Simulator software tool. Motivated by its strategic goal to improve human security and equipped with subject expertise in explosive hazards, in January 2015, the GICHD established the... research project to characterise explosive weapons (CEW). The aim of this research into explosive weapons characteristics and their immediate, destructive effects on humans and structures is to contribute to the ongoing discussions on explosive weapons in populated areas, intended to reduce harm to civilians. This research does not enter into the moral or legal implications of using explosive weapon systems in populated areas, but rather examines their characteristics, effects and use from a technical perspective.

"La finalidad del presente MANUAL DE LA OMS PARA LA GESTIÓN DE SALUD PÚBLICA DE LOS INCIDENTES QUÍMICOS es proporcionar una panorámica general de los principios y funciones de la salud pública en materia de gestión de incidentes y emergencias químicos. Aunque se brinda información para cada ...fase del ciclo de una emergencia (prevención, planifi cación y preparación, detección y alerta, y respuesta y recuperación), es bien sabido que la gestión de los incidentes y emergencias químicos requieren un enfoque multidisciplinario y multisectorial y que el sector de la salud pública puede ejercer un papel infl uyente, complementario o directivo en las diversas etapas del proceso de gestión. El público al que nos dirigimos se compone de salubristas y expertos en cuestiones ambientales, así como de cualquiera que tenga interés en la gestión de los incidentes químicos."
