The international drug control regimes are outdated and do not meet current human rights standards and public health needs. Provisions in three historically prohibitionist United Nations treaties \u2013 the 1961 Single Convention<\/span><\/a> on Narcotic Drugs, the 1971 Convention<\/span><\/a> on Psychotropic Substances, and the 1988 Convention<\/span><\/a> Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances \u2013 substantially limit Party latitude in legalizing and regulating schedule-listed substances, including cannabis.<\/span><\/p>\n More than 50 countries in the world are reforming their cannabis policy in one way or another, mainly regulating the use of medicinal cannabis but also trying to get in control on the recreational consumption, like Canada and Uruguay. But how can these countries deal with the harsh attitude and opposition of states like Russia, China and the Philippines, hardliners, demanding a full stop on the recent reform developments in fellow states and still strive for a drug free world. Incarcerating millions of people around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n The UN system<\/span><\/a> coordination Task Team on the Implementation of the UN System Common Position\u00a0 <\/span>on drug-related matters, recently released a report<\/span><\/a> on; \u2018lessons learned over the last ten years\u2019. It says: <\/span><\/p>\n Governments the world over have utterly failed to make any progress in achieving a drug-free world. In blindly striving for a drug-free world, drug policies have had devastating consequences<\/span><\/p>\n It will take years and years before all 193 UN members will come to a sort of an agreement to change the outdated drug treaties. But why should we wait. Why not allowing countries to continue their reform policy without breaking the UN conventions. Still respecting the basic fundamental rights, health and welfare of\u00a0 <\/span>humankind, which form the cornerstone of the international drug control system.<\/span><\/p>\n You want to know how?
