4.3. Recommendations
CoE member States should stringently control the import, export, brokering and
other transfer of electric shock projectile weapons firing individual projectiles,
specifically intended for law enforcement purposes. The use of such weapons by
law enforcement officials should be consistent with regional and international
human rights standards, specifically the UN Basic Standards on the Use of Force
and Firearms. In line with CPT recommendations, such devices should not be
used in a prison or places of detention. Furthermore the use of such weapons in
the “drive stun” mode (i.e. as direct contact electric shock weapons) should be
prohibited.
CoE member States should prohibit the development, promotion, import, export,
brokering and other transfer of electric shock projectile weapons firing multiple
projectiles simultaneously. The use of such weapons by CoE law enforcement
and prison officials should be prohibited, and all existing weapons should be
removed and verifiably destroyed.
