Details

SACMILL and its predecessor, DOMILL, have since 2002 published a number of medical statements providing advice on the medical implications of the use of various less-lethal weapons.

These statements have historically been made public by lodging them in the libraries of the Houses of Parliament. All DOMILL statements are available on this page, and it is intended that future SACMILL statements will also be published here at the appropriate time.
