Recent years have seen a growing unwillingness among increasing numbers of States parties to fully adhere to a strictly prohibitionist reading of the UN drug control conventions. Such behaviour has been driven by a belief that non-punitive and pragmatic health oriented domestic policy approaches that are in line with fundamental human rights standards better address the complexities surrounding illicit drug use than the zero-tolerance approach privileged by the present international treaties.
This briefing paper outlines the international legal drug control obligations, the room for manoeuvre the regime leaves open to national policy makers and the clear limits of latitude that cannot be crossed without violating the treaties.
This edition of Guidelines for Debate (GPD) seeks to help define what drug policy is and provide guidelines to challenge its design and impacts from a youth perspective while respecting human rights. To this end, the paper proposes a dynamic discussion from which to rethink the current debate to respond to the phenomenon of drugs and the policies that govern them.
