#DrugDecrim : Un mois sur la décriminalisation des drogues

6 juin 2021

Au cours du mois de juin 2021, le Consortium international pour les politiques en matière de drogues (IDPC) organise cinq semaines d'activités pour souligner l'importance et le potentiel de la fin de la criminalisation associée à la "guerre contre les drogues" pour la santé et le bien-être de nos communautés. Pour en savoir plus, en anglais, veuillez lire les informations ci-dessous.

Over the course of June 2021, the International Drug Policy Consortium (IDPC) organises five weeks of activity to highlight the importance and potential of decriminalisation for the health and well-being of our communities.

Criminalisation is a major obstacle in achieving the IDPC network's vision of 'drug policies that advance social justice and human rights'. Drug policies' current reliance on punishment and criminalisation exacerbates inequalities, racial and social injustice, and drug-related harm. In many parts of the world, drug laws are a colonial remnant which swell prison populations, widen the criminal legal system's net, and worsen public health and welfare outcomes such as HIV and hepatitis infections, and drug-related deaths.

Across the globe, over 30 countries have adopted legal reforms to remove the criminalisation of certain activities related to drug use. The UN System Common Position on Drugs reinforces multilateral support for this approach.

#DrugDecrim Month will showcase the wealth of existing evidence and knowledge on the harmful impacts of criminalisation, and the benefits of decriminalisation to foster safer, healthier and more inclusive communities.

In the coming five weeks, IDPC's social media accounts (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube) will be sharing publicationsinterviews and panels, both from the IDPC network and colleagues from civil society and academia at large.

We invite you to join the conversation and share your own thoughts and materials by using the hashtag #DrugDecrim.

Activities during #DrugDecrim Month include:
