Dr. Sandeep Chawla introduced a major resolution on how drug control and crime prevention and criminal justice can be synchronised with protection of human rights. This document offers ways forward about how to mainstream human rights in the work of the UNODC.

This document was posted on the IHRAblog yesterday.

This represents the strongest and most comprehensive statement from UNODC of the agency’s human rights obligations vis-a-vis its mandate, including necessary steps to mainstream human rights within the UN drug control system.
