#HumanRights in #DrugPolicy—how does it work in practice?. This side event at #CND68 today (11:30 CET) explores approaches from 🇨🇴🇧🇷🇬🇭🇵🇰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. 📍 Watch live 👉

"Strengthening the rights and involvement of Indigenous Peoples is key to innovating the #AlternativeDevelopment approach." said our @GPDPD_ colleague Sofia Wahl at the #CND68 side event on Drug Policies and Indigenous Peoples hosted by @unodcprt with support 🇧🇷🇨🇴🇫🇷🇵🇪&🇩🇪.

9/ #Germany, #Thailand & #Peru have proposed #Resolution L4, calling for a #CND68 mandate to complement the UN Guiding Principles on AD. The discussion continues—AD must remain a key pillar of sustainable development & human rights-driven drug policies.

8/ AD must be measured by human well-being, not just crop eradication. @AnnFordham from @IDPCnet called for a human rights-centered approach, ensuring AD fosters socio-economic progress, environmental protection & sustainable livelihoods over punitive drug policies.

7/ Colombia is shifting from punitive drug policies to territorial transformation & community-driven solutions. 🇨🇴 stressed that AD must go beyond crop substitution, integrating infrastructure, market access & local capacity for long-term stability. @MinjusticiaCo.

6/ Peru highlighted the environmental and social costs of illicit drug economies. 🇵🇪’s approach focuses on sustainability, Indigenous leadership & alternatives, addressing #deforestation, #biodiversity loss & water pollution from coca cultivation. @DEVIDAPERU @PeruEnAustria.

5/ Brazil is integrating AD with climate justice, Indigenous rights & social inclusion. 🇧🇷 is implementing AD projects in the Amazon & urban areas, providing education, training & economic opportunities to prevent dependence on illicit activities. @mjspgov.

4/ AD must expand beyond rural communities. 🇹🇭 emphasized that today’s challenges—synthetic drugs, organized crime & urban vulnerabilities—require a more flexible AD approach. Aligning AD with the SDGs ensures long-term impact for affected communities. @MFAThai @ONCB_Thai.

3/ @CICAD_OEA highlighted a key issue: economic sustainability. AD succeeds only with built-in market access and financial stability. Without viable opportunities, communities risk returning to illicit economies. Sustainable livelihoods must come first.

2/ 📢 "Since the UNGP were formulated, many innovations have shaped AD programs, refocusing on human-centered & territorial approaches." – @BdB_SD_Blienert 🇩🇪 emphasized that AD must evolve to be more inclusive, gender-responsive & environmentally sustainable.
