Civil society urges UN rights council to tackle racism in drug control
Original: Civil society calls to confront systemic racism in drug control — Dialogue with the EMLER at HRC63
Civil society organisations, led by the International Drug Policy Consortium, are calling on states to confront systemic racism in drug control during a dialogue with the UN Expert Mechanism on the Right to Development (EMLER) at the 63rd session of the Human Rights Council. Advocates argue drug policies disproportionately harm racialised and marginalised communities and are pressing governments to reform enforcement and adopt rights-based approaches.
Why now: The Human Rights Council session is giving advocates a high-profile platform to push drug policy reform onto the UN agenda.
