Book Launch Video | ‘Drug Policies and Development: Conflict and Coexistence’, Tuesday 24 Nov. 2020, 12:30–13:30 Geneva Time
International drug control mechanisms are focused on the elimination of drug production, use, and trafficking, through the operationalisation of repressive public policies criminalizing these substances and their non-medical use. The implementation of these policies has had a detrimental impact on other global development objectives.
The editors of the thematic issue ‘Drug Policies and Development: Conflict and Coexistance‘ will talk about the contemporary discussions that shape drug policy; the intersection of drug control and development policies; and the paths towards adopting better approaches in order to align drug control with the global development objectives. Speakers will further share with the audience how this special issue brings clarity to this complex and multifaceted policy issue.
