Young people's recommendations for addiction prevention policy paper

27 July 2010

The 'Young People's Recommendations for Addiction Prevention Policy Paper' was compiled by the Drug Policy Programme of Espolea through a series of workshops, in order to build on the current drug policy debate and contribute to the engagement of young people in dialogue around prevention, harm reduction, treatment and law enforcement. The document revises examples of best practice and recommends drug policy modifications.

This paper can be used at every level of government implementation as serves two parallel purposes: it acts as a thematic guide for young people interested in debating and advocating on a shift on drug policy, and it proposes a series of starting points and policy recommendations through which to build a more comprehensive drug policy that is respective of human rights principles.
