Definition: This block contains a wide variety of disorders that differ in severity and clinical form but that are all attributable to the use of one or more psychoactive substances, which may or may not have been medically prescribed. The third character of the code identifies the substance involved, and the fourth character specifies the clinical state. The codes should be used, as required, for each substance specified, but it should be noted that not all fourth character codes are applicable to all substances. Identification of the psychoactive substance should be based on as many sources of information as possible. These include sel ...[+++]f-report data, analysis of blood and other body fluids, characteristic physical and psychological symptoms, clinical signs and behaviour, and other evidence such as a drug being in the patient's possession or reports from informed third parties. Many drug users take more than one type of psychoactive substance. The main diagnosis should be classified, whenever possible, according to the substance or class of substances that has caused or contributed most to the presenting clinical syndrome. Other diagnoses should be coded when other psychoactive substances have been taken in intoxicating amounts (common fourth character .0) or to the extent of causing harm (common fourth character .1), dependence (common fourth character .2) or other disorders (common fourth character .3-.9). Only in cases in which patterns of psychoactive substance-taking are chaotic and indiscriminate, or in which the contributions of different psychoactive substances are inextricably mixed, should the diagnosis of disorders resulting from multiple drug use (F19.-) be used. | Modifiers The following fourth-character subdivisions are for use with categories F10-F19: Code Title .0 Acute intoxication A condition that follows the administration of a psychoactive substance resulting in disturbances in level of consciousness, cognition, perception, affect or behaviour, o ...

Clause 11. 3 goes further and proposes blanket exceptions that permit Canadian Forces personnel to aid, abet or counsel non-party state forces to commit acts prohibited to states parties; to conspire with non-party states forces to commit acts prohibited to states parties; to receive, comfort or assist non-party state forces to escape, knowing that other persons have committed, aided or abetted in the commission of acts prohibited to states parties.

Incredibly, it seeks exceptions during combined military operations with non-party states that, among other things, would legally permit all of the following: assisting with logistics and the targeting of cluster munitions; Canadian Forces transporting on Canadian carriers cluster munitions that belong to non-party state forces; Canadian pilots or artillery personnel themselves using, acquiring, possessing or moving cluster munitions while on attachment or secondment with non-party state units; and, to me the most egregious and potentially deadly scenario of all, a Canadian commander of a multinational force authorizing or directing n ...[+++]on-party state armed forces to use, acquire, possess, import or export cluster munitions.

“(N)ever, under any circumstances” can states parties directly or indirectly use, develop, produce, acquire, stockpile, retain or transfer cluster munitions to anyone.28 The prohibition on both direct and indirect actions reflects an intention to extend the prohibitions in the convention to cover a broad range of activity, and an attempt to prevent states parties from interpreting the treaty in a manner that allows them to avoid their obligations.29 Moreover, states parties must not encourage, induce or assist others to engage in such activities.30 In their relations with other states, states parties must encourage non-ratifying states to accept the convention, notify non-states parties o ...[+++]f their obligations, promote the norms in the convention and make best efforts to discourage other states from using cluster munitions.31

1. A Member State requesting or receiving financial assistance from one or several other States, the IMF, the EFSF, the EFSM or the ESM shall prepare in agreement with the Commission - acting in liaison with the ECB and, where appropriate, with the IMF - a draft macroeconomic adjustment programme which shall build on and substitute any economic partnership programmes under Regulation (EU) No ./2012 [on common provisions for monitoring and assessing draft budgetary plans and ensuring the correction of excessive deficit of the Member States in the euro area], which shall also include annual budgetary target. The draft macroeconomic adjustment programme shall addresses the specific risks emanating from that Member State for the financial stabi ...[+++]lity of the euro area and shall aim at rapidly re-establishing a sound and sustainable economic and financial situation and restoring its capacity to finance itself fully on the financial markets. The draft macroeconomic adjustment programme shall be based on the assessment of the sustainability of the government debt and shall take due account of the recommendations addressed to the Member State concerned under Articles 121, 126, 136 and/or 148 TFEU - and its actions to comply with them - while aiming at broadening, strengthening and deepening the required policy measures. The draft macroeconomic adjustment programme shall respect the practices and institutions for wage formation and industrial relations in the Union and shall, where possible, take into account the national reform programme of the Member State concerned in the context of the Union strategy for growth and jobs. The draft macroeconomic adjustment programme shall fully observe Article 151 TFEU and Article 28 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
