NON LETHAL TECHNOLOGIES & GRADUAL USE OF FORCE
Non-lethal weapons offer law enforcement officials the capacity to apply force gradually, reducing the situations in which the use of firearms is required.
This perspective of the gradual use of force was evidenced in the 8th Congress of the United Nations on Prevention and Treatment of Delinquents. In the “Basic principles on the use of force and firearms by law enforcement officials”, approved on September 7th, 1990, the UN recommended the adoption of non-lethal weapons in public safety actions, with the purpose of reducing to the minimum the use of means that cause permanent injuries or death, i.e., the use of firearms is restricted to situations in which non-lethal means are insufficient for neutralization of the law breaker or for the self-defense of operating military or police forces. Condor has special attention with the dissemination of the non-lethal concept, aiming to raise awareness of the military and police authorities on the importance of the proportional use of force in public order's conflicts and riots situations.
