Debates temáticos de la CND sobre la puesta en marcha de los acuerdos internacionales en materia de políticas de drogas en seguimiento a la Declaración Ministerial de 2019

6 agosto 2019

La primera ronda de debates temáticos tras la Declaración Ministerial de 2019 se centrará en la expansión y diversificación de las drogas y los mercados de drogas, el aumento histórico de la oferta y la demanda, y los problemas crecientes de salud pública relacionados con el consumo de opioides.

As per the workplan agreed upon on 24th June 2019, thematic discussions will take place every autumn during the period between 2019-22, addressing the challenges identified by the taking stock paragraph of the 2019 Ministerial Declaration.

Accordingly, on 16-18 october, the Commission on Narcotic Drugs will meet to discuss the following three elements of the 2019 Ministerial Declaration’s “Taking Stock” paragraph:

  • that both the range of drugs and drugs markets are expanding and diversifying;
  • that the abuse, illicit cultivation and production and manufacture of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, as well as the illicit trafficking in those substances and in precursors, have reached record levels, and that the illicit demand for and the domestic diversion of precursor chemicals are on the rise;
  • that synthetic opioids and the non-medical use of prescription drugs pose increasing risks to public health and safety, as well as scientific, legal and regulatory challenges, including with regard to the scheduling of substances;
