On International Human Rights Day, UN drugs body silences UN human rights expert on ground-breaking report
News release from our colleagues at the International Drug Policy Consortium:
Today, at the CND 64th Session Reconvened, the Chair of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention was meant to present a ground-breaking >study on drug policy and arbitrary detention, which includes recommendations to decriminalise use, cultivation and possession for personal use, inter alia.
The oral video presentation by the Chair of the WGAD was blocked as a number of Member States contested the Working Group's legitimacy.
This censorship of human rights experts, on International Human Rights Day (!), sets a dangerous precedent that should not go unnoticed.
