SSDP llevará a cabo una simulación de la próxima UNGASS sobre drogas, la cual servirá para que muchos estudiantes se familiaricen con los pormenores de la reforma de las políticas globales sobre drogas durante los meses que preceden a la (verdadera) UNGASS 2016. Más información, en inglés, está disponible abajo.

About the Model UNGASS

At this year’s biennial International Drug Policy Reform Conference, Students for Sensible Drug Policy will host a simulation of the upcoming United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) on the World Drug Problem. This simulation, which will be formatted similar to a typical Model UN, will serve as a way for students to become familiar with the ins and outs of global drug policy reform during the months leading up to (the real) UNGASS, which will be held from April 19-21 in New York City.

By engaging students on a participatory level, Model UNGASS will serve as a platform for SSDP to amplify the voices of youth drug policy reformers. Aside from amplifying the youth voice, Model UNGASS will provide SSDP members with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the broad spectrum of drug policies around the world, analyze policies comparatively and objectively, and examine the various cultural factors that influence domestic policies. Not unlike the UNGASS itself, the simulation will demonstrate the ways drug policy directly relates to other issues of international importance, including human rights, public health, sustainable development, and security issues.
