Want to know your government’s positions on global drug policy? Find out on the CND Blog!
The Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) is the central policy-making body of the UN drug control system. However, official access to the proceedings, statements and reports from CND are very limited.
The CND Blog is a project of the International Drug Policy Consortium (IDPC), in collaboration with NGO partners, which aims to ensure transparency and provide live records of the discussions taking place at the meeting. The CND Blog also covers negotiations and proceedings from other key UN meetings on drugs, such as the UN General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS).
Updates to the CND Blog have benefited from the invaluable support of the Robert Carr Fund and the Open Society Foundations.
