The preceding chapters analyzed how international law responds to less-lethal weapons in general. Thereby arms control treaties, international humanitarian, criminal, and human rights law were examined with a view to finding out how these legal regimes interact with each other in order to regulate, shape, and restrain the excessive use of less-lethal weapons. Several examples of less-lethal weapons served as an example, while other weapons could not be addressed thoroughly. Given the extraordinary variety of less-lethal weapons nowadays deployed, it is imperative to provide concrete recommendations and guidelines on how to use these weapons in practice. The Guidelines are addressed primarily at states and their legislative branches, official decision-makers, and other state institutions. Classical law enforcement in all its different manifestations will be covered just as armed conflict including occupational scenarios. Thus, the following chapters are fully dedicated to provide concrete guidelines and recommendations taking into consideration the complex legal framework dealing with the use of force in general and with less-lethal weapons in particular.
