As for limiting the types of goods based on a specific weight or value limit, such limits are not an effective tool to address safety concerns or enforce customs rules. If there are concerns about the burden of sending goods over a particular weight, the airline industry can be relied on to promulgate safety-based rules setting out the weight limitations for goods transported by air. (...) Setting a de minimis amount and using risk management to address specific concerns related to weight or value is a more effective tool for customs administrations to wield than standing in the way of growth and rapid global movement of goods.

Health

Undernutrition makes children in particular much more vulnerable to disease and death.
Low weight-for-height is known as wasting. It usually indicates recent and severe weight loss, because a person has not had enough food to eat and/or they have had an infectious disease, such as diarrhoea, which has caused them to lose weight. (...) Body mass index (BMI) is an index of weight-for-height commonly used to classify overweight and obesity. It is defined as a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of his/her height in meters (kg/m²).

As I warned the Security Council last week, Palestinian frustration and grievances are growing under the weight of nearly a half-century of occupation. Ignoring this won’t make it disappear. (...) Palestinians — especially young people — are losing hope over what seems a harsh, humiliating and endless occupation. Israelis are also reeling from near-daily attacks and losing sight of the possibility of a comprehensive peace with the Palestinians.
