About

Throughout the Current Perspectives on Drug Policy immersive course offered by Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, you will examine how drug control policies impact sustainable development and how it closely relates with public health and human rights.

Since the adoption of the international drug control framework sixty years ago, drug production, demand and use have increased, reaching record highs every year since 2015 despite fierce repression. 

In the last 10 years, more and more countries started reviewing their approach to drugs while the international multilateral system has recognised the need to integrate drug policy within sustainable development objectives.
