The world market is bigger than ever, despite the millions of dollars invested in 10 years: IDPC NY
The objective set by the member countries of the United Nations (UN) 10 years ago to eliminate or reduce the trafficking, consumption, production and use of illicit drugs in the world has failed and has often been counterproductive, a report said. released on Monday.
Prepared by the International Drug Policy Consortium (IDPC) , based on data from the UN and other academic studies, the report noted that the heartbreaking figures demonstrate the carnage that the war on drugs has unleashed in the last decade.
The world drug market is larger and more robust than ever, despite the millions of dollars invested in reducing supply and in strict compliance with the law . In parallel, the harms of repressive approaches have reached epic proportions, said Ann Fordham, director of IDPC.
Titled Balance of a decade of drug policies , the document highlighted that there has been an increase of 145 percent in deaths related to this scourge in the last decade, totaling 450,000 during 2015.
He also stressed that at least 3,940 people have been sentenced to death and executed for a crime related to drugs in the last decade in 33 countries.
Also, about 27,000 extrajudicial executions have been registered for the campaign against drugs in the Philippines ; while more than 71,000 deaths due to overdoses were reported in the United States only in 2017.
In the world, in addition, there has been a mass incarceration fueled by the criminalization of people who use drugs; one in five prisoners has been deprived of liberty for crimes related to them, mainly for possession for personal use.
The document indicated that the 2018 World Drug Report prepared by the UN Office of Drugs and Crime pointed out that the range of drugs and the markets of drugs are expanding and diversifying as never before.
On the one hand, countries such as Uruguay and Canada have regulated the use of marijuana for recreational use in adults; while destructive approaches are hardening, such as that of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.
