Some of the highlights of these authorities are set out below with some sources for further reading. The World Health Organization Guide (2004) complements the World Report on Violence and Health (2002) and the 2003 World Health Assembly Resolution 56-24 for governments to implement nine recommendations, which were: <br /> <br />Create, implement and monitor a national action plan for violence prevention. <br />Enhance capacity for collecting data on violence. <br />Define priorities for, and support research on, the causes, consequences, costs and prevention of violence. <br />Promote primary prevention responses. <br />Strengthen responses for victims of violence. <br />Integrate violence prevention into social and educational policies, and thereby promote gender and social equality. <br />Increase collaboration and exchange of information on violence prevention. <br />Promote and monitor adherence to international treaties, laws and other mechanisms to protect human rights. <br />Seek practical, internationally agreed responses to the global drugs and global arms trade. <br />The commissions agree on the role of municipalities, because they are best able to organize the strategies to tackle the risk factors that cause crime. The European Forum for Urban Safety and the United States Conference of Mayors have stressed that municipalities must target the programs to meet the needs of youth at risk and women who are vulnerable to violence.[citation needed]
