Announcement and Call for PapersExperts in the field of non-lethal weapons are concerned both with investigating and pursuing a detailed approach to new NLW technologies, and with developing a better contextual understanding of this complex subject from a generalised perspective. 2007, the year of the 4th European Symposium on Non-lethal Weapons was very decisive for NLW. Never since the term NLW was first created had so much motion and activity occurred. Noticeably, NATO installed a Quick Reaction Team, a Topical Group and proposed a new term, “Non-Lethal Capabilities (NLC)”. In Europe, the European Defence Agency (EDA) installed a project team specifically in this area and adopted the term “NLC”. Now what has changed in principle? Are there any consequences of the new term, NLC? How will this impact each of the different aspects (legal, medical or operational) involved in NLW? Chairman of the Symposium The above questions and more will be discussed at the 2009 Symposium on Non-lethal Weapons, which will also act as a forum to review current and future non-lethal technologies. This 5th Symposium will be a platform enabling participants to meet with each other and with experts from many different nations. All these aspects together can be seen as a catalyst to strengthen and to enlarge the present NLW-community. In brief, the Symposium includes topics on:
The listed topics should only be considered as guiding principles. Abstract proposals concerned with any other interesting and/or important topic related to NLWs will be welcome.
