ПОСЛАНИЕ ПО СЛУЧАЮ МЕЖДУНАРОДНОГО ДНЯ 

БОРЬБЫ СО ЗЛОУПОТРЕБЛЕНИЕМ НАРКОТИЧЕСКИМИ СРЕДСТВАМИ И ИХ НЕЗАКОННЫМ ОБОРОТОМ

В сентябре этого года лидеры со всего мира соберутся на встречу в Организации Объединенных Наций, чтобы утвердить новую, грандиозную по масштабам поставленных в ней задач, повестку дня в области устойчивого развития, нацеленную на искоренение крайней нищеты и обеспечение достойной жизни для всех. Для решения этих грандиозных задач, вполне выполнимых, необходимо, однако, преодолеть целый ряд препятствий самого разного рода, включая незаконный оборот наркотиков и злоупотребление ими, которые представляют смертельную опасность как для общества, так и для отдельных граждан.

Основой принимаемых нами общих мер для решения этой проблемы являются международные конвенции о контроле над наркотиками. Организация Объединенных Наций выступает за то, чтобы постепенно сместить акценты в рамках международной политики в отношении контролируемых веществ, что полностью согласуется со стандартами и нормами в области прав человека. Нам необходимо найти альтернативы уголовному преследованию и заключению в тюрьму лиц, употребляющих наркотические средства, и сосредоточить усилия в сфере уголовного правосудия на лицах, обеспечивающих предложение наркотиков. Нам следует уделять больше внимания вопросам охраны здоровья населения, профилактики, лечения и ухода, а также стратегиям деятельности в экономической, социальной и культурной областях.

Мы должны учитывать взаимосвязь между незаконными наркотиками и насилием, коррупцией и терроризмом. В контексте сбалансированного подхода признается наличие тесных связей между участниками незаконного оборота наркотиков и преступными сетями, которые занимаются незаконным ввозом огнестрельного оружия, похищением людей, торговлей людьми и совершают другие преступления. Действуя в этом направлении, требуется также удвоить усилия в целях предупреждения поставок химических веществ-прекурсоров, которые являются исходной основой для многих незаконных наркотических средств.

Существенное значение для решения сегодняшних проблем в сферах безопасности и развития имеет содействие расширению международного сотрудничества в рамках конвенций Организации Объединенных Наций против транснациональной организованной преступности и коррупции. Ни один преступник не должен уйти от правосудия.

Применение сбалансированного подхода невозможно без единства цели в рамках международного сообщества, включая Организацию Объединенных Наций, гражданское общество и — самое главное — сами страны. Ни одна страна не может действовать изолированно. Наиболее благоприятные перспективы в борьбе с торговлей людьми.

禁止药物滥用和非法贩运国际日的致辞

9月，世界各国领导人将在联合国召开会议，通过一项宏伟的新的可持续发展议程，旨在消除赤贫，让所有人过上有尊严的生活。这一宏伟目标虽然是可以实现的，但必须克服各种障碍，包括贩毒和吸毒给社区和个人造成的致命伤害。

我们应对这一挑战的共同对策建立在各项国际药物管制公约的基础上。联合国充分遵守人权标准和准则，主张谨慎地重新平衡关于受管制药物的国际政策。我们必须考虑除了将吸毒者定罪和拘禁之外的其他办法，把刑事司法工作的重点放在参与供应毒品的人身上。我们应该更加重视公共卫生、预防、治疗和护理以及经济、社会和文化战略。

我们必须应对非法药物与暴力、腐败和恐怖主义之间的关系。平衡的办法会使我们认识到贩毒者与参与走私枪支、绑架、贩运人口和其他犯罪活动的犯罪网络之间的密切联系。在这项工作中，我们还必须加倍努力，防止供应前体化学品，因为此类化学品是很多非法药物的基础。

要应对当今的安全和发展挑战，就必须通过联合国打击跨国有组织犯罪和腐败现象的各项公约促进国际合作。没有一名罪犯应当逍遥法外。平衡的办法要求国际社会目标一致，其中包括联合国、民间社会，最重要的是世界各国。没有一个国家能够孤立开展工作。地方、区域和全球各级的全面统筹努力为应对贩运者带来了最好的希望，同时要小心保护弱势群体和边缘化社区。

打击非法药物的努力必须与我们通过平等的可持续发展促进各种机会的工作挂钩。我们必须不断努力，让弱势者和脆弱者强大起来。将于2016年举行的联合国大会关于世界毒品问题的特别会议可推进这项工作，使各国分享知识，制订共同的解决方案。

值此禁止药物滥用和非法贩运国际日之际，让我们在认识到可持续发展能够并且必须推动所有方面变革的基础上，广为宣传采用平衡办法解决这些问题的重要意义。

禁止药物滥用和非法贩运国际日致辞

Today is an important day for focusing on the threat of the production, trafficking and use of illicit drugs. Robust action is needed to strengthen criminal justice systems, break-up the criminal networks who deal in misery and suffering, and to nurture health and human rights-based responses.

People also endure unbelievable pain due to a lack of controlled medications for medical purposes. Measures must be taken to ensure that people across the globe can access pain relief where necessary. We must also do everything to promote greater understanding of drug use as a social and health condition that calls for, like HIV/AIDS and hepatitis, sustained prevention, treatment and care.

Science and evidence-based practices must prevail in the delivery of prevention and treatment of drug use. These approaches are the foundation for all our efforts. With nearly 200,000 drug-related deaths and with 1.65 million infected with HIV in 2013, access to evidence based prevention and treatment can sometimes be the difference between life and death.

At present, only one in six people who use drugs globally has access to treatment. Women face numerous barriers to treatment-while one in three drug users globally are women, only one in five drug users in treatment are women.

Africa, particularly West and East Africa, also remains vulnerable to the trafficking and the consumption of illicit drugs. These trends are part of organized crime's attack on the security, health and development of an already-fragile region. The nexus of organized crime and terrorism-including the apparent role of drug trafficking-is a serious threat. Opium cultivation in Afghanistan remains a formidable challenge, as is the production of cocaine in Latin America.

UNODC's own work shows that the balanced approach of confronting drug supply and drug demand is fundamental. Alternative development for farmers who cultivate illicit crops also has a major role. Alternative development promotes environmental protection, supports communities affected by other forms of crime, including wildlife and forest crime, and empowers women.

Countries must also work hard to protect the promise of future generations. Young people should be encouraged to undertake new initiatives that can develop aspirations and opportunities, as well as dignity.

The UN General Assembly Special Session on the world drug problem, to be held in April 2016, can assist in the exchanges of ideas and lessons learned, and will do much to help achieve the goals set out in the Political Declaration and Plan of Action by 2019.

On the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, and ahead of the UN Summit on Sustainable Development, it is important to remember that illicit drugs undermine the environment, security and development. Countering their impact using a balanced and human rights based approach is vital to protect and promote the health and welfare of humankind.

City council approved regulations to set zoning controls and licence fees for Vancouver’s many pot shops, a boom that’s come amid a haze of legal ambiguity.

Vancouver has approved new rules to license and regulate illegal marijuana stores, making it the first city in Canada to attempt to control the burgeoning market – and setting it on a collision course with the country’s federal government.

After four days of public hearings, the city council approved regulations that will set zoning controls and hefty licence fees for Vancouver’s many pot shops: the city of 600,000 is thought to have more marijuana stores than its 109 Starbucks locations.

Neon green cannabis leafs have sprouted in shop windows across the city, and many shops employ in-house “naturopaths” available for quasi-medical consultations.

The boom has come amid a haze of legal ambiguity: the supreme court has forced the Canadian government to allow access to medical marijuana for those with prescriptions, but it remains illegal to sell pot products from a retail storefront. Meanwhile, the Vancouver police department has stated that a crackdown on pot shops is not a priority for them.

In an attempt to resolve the contradiction, the council launched public consultations on regulation in April.

The proposal prompted a furious attack from Ottawa. Federal health minister Rona Ambrose wrote to Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson suggesting that any attempt to regulate the pot shops would mean legitimizing an illegal activity. She called on council to reject the proposal and close the stores down.

Vancouver councilor Geoff Meggs said Ambrose’s comments showed that she was “completely out of touch with the realities on the ground.”

Vancouver becomes first Canadian city to regulate growing marijuana market

Moscow (AFP) - Waiting with his rucksack full of clean syringes by a pharmacy in the Moscow suburbs, Maxim Malyshev is fighting a lonely battle on the frontline of Russia's spiralling AIDS epidemic.

Malyshev, along with about a dozen other volunteers from the Andrei Rylkov Foundation, run the only outreach programme for drug users in the country's sprawling capital -- handing out fresh needles, condoms and advice to help combat the spread of diseases.

"We go out into the streets, where drug takers hang out, where they pass by, where they buy and we give them clean syringes so that they don't get infected," Malyshev, himself a former user, tells AFP.

Accepted internationally as a basic tool in combatting the spread of HIV, in Russia -- which has grown more conservative under President Vladimir Putin -- initiatives like Malyshev's receive no backing from the state.

"The authorities don't support our activities. All their efforts go on attempted cures and telling people not to take drugs," Malyshev says.

Activists struggle in fight with Russian AIDS epidemic

In May 2015 members of the Russian Civil Society Mechanism for Monitoring of Drug Policy Reforms in Russia, with technical assistance of the Andrey Rylkov Foundation for Health and Social Justice and the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network drafted and submitted to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights a paper named “Russian Drug Policy as a Distorting Reflection of the UN Drug Conventions: Stigmatizing Language, Overreliance on Punitive Restrictions, Indifference to Human Rights, and Obliteration of Science“.

This paper was submitted in a response to the request from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights for the input regarding any relevant information with regard to the implementation of the resolution A/HRC/28/L.22 – a special resolution of the Human Rights Council on the contribution of the Human Rights Council to the special session of the General Assembly (UNGASS) on the world drug problem of 2016.

At paragraph 1 of this resolution the Human Rights Council requests the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights to prepare a study, in consultation with States, United Nations agencies and other relevant stakeholders, to be presented to the Human Rights Council at its thirtieth session, on the impact of the world drug problem on the enjoyment of human rights, and recommendations on respect for and the protection and promotion of human rights in the context of the world drug problem, with particular consideration for the needs of persons affected and persons in vulnerable situations.
