Prevention is the prevention of something bad, dangerous, negative. Preventive measures are applied in all areas of life, but not everyone perceives them correctly, seeing a threat in themselves, and this is due to a lack of knowledge about the concept, its scope.
The concept of “preventive measures” entered the life of Russians not so long ago, and in a somewhat negative light. This term is often used in stories about the removal of children from families. In fact, preventive measures are something more. The concept covers all spheres of human life, and such actions are aimed precisely at improving the quality of life for each of us, preventing something dangerous directed against us.
What does the term “preventive measures” mean?
Prevention is a warning expressed in measures taken to prevent any events, acts, aggression. They are regulated by law, including international law, and are described in the constitutions of states and in the UN Charter. Based on the relevant article, the UN leadership can decide on one of the ways to solve the problem:
- complete or partial cessation of economic interaction with a source of danger,
- termination of any transport connection with a state that has come under preventive measures,
- severance of diplomatic relations with the conclusion of diplomatic missions or the restriction of this type of interaction,
- the use of armed forces to eliminate the risk of developing a dangerous situation.
Decisions on the application of preventive measures in any area of human life or humanity can only be made by a collegial commission. An official or department in one person does not have the right to appeal with such strict, and sometimes harsh, cardinal measures, which include prevention.
