IDPC offers a historical analysis of civil society advocacy for drug policy reform at the UN, assessing gains, challenges and insight on how the latter have been generally overcome.
IDPC takes stock of progress made on the implementation of the recommendations included in the UNGASS Outcome Document, focusing on six critical areas: public health, development, human rights, civil society engagement, UN agency collaboration and cooperation, and drug policy evaluation.
UNODC compiles data on thriving drug markets, noting a 30% rise in use over the last decade yet remaining mostly silent on human rights impact of drug control.
IDPC offers recommendations to the new UNODC Director related to a range of key concerns, including on UN system-wide coherence, human rights and health.
