Transform Drug Policy Foundation Blog: UN expert calls for a fundamental shift in global drug control policy



Recommendations:

Member States should:

* Ensure that all harm-reduction measures (as itemized by UNAIDS) and drug-dependence treatment services, particularly opioid substitution therapy, are available to people who use drugs, in particular those among incarcerated populations.
* Decriminalize or de-penalize possession and use of drugs.
* Repeal or substantially reform laws and policies inhibiting the delivery of essential health services to drug users, and review law enforcement initiatives around drug control to ensure compliance with human rights obligations.
* Amend laws, regulations and policies to increase access to controlled essential medicines.

The United Nations drug control bodies should:

* Integrate human rights into the response to drug control in laws, policies and programmes.
* Encourage greater communication and dialogue between United Nations entities with an interest in the impact of drug use and markets, and drug control policies and programmes.
* Consider creation of a permanent mechanism, such as an independent commission, through which international human rights actors can contribute to the creation of international drug policy, and monitor national implementation, with the need to protect the health and human rights of drug users and the communities they live in as its primary objective.
* Formulate guidelines that provide direction to relevant actors on taking a human rights-based approach to drug control, and devise and promulgate rights-based indicators concerning drug control and the right to health.
* Consider creation of an alternative drug regulatory framework in the long term, based on a model such as the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.

Kannabis ehdottomasti lailliseksi ja alkoholin suhteen sais kiristää kaikkea. Kovat aineet ei niinkää oo hyvä juttu, mut kai sekin on joku taitolaji niitä vetää hallitusti...?
