Overview
What you will study
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.
The objectives of the Current Perspectives on Drug Policy immersive course offered by Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies are:
- Strengthen stakeholders mapping skills for better analysis of the different roles of Geneva and Vienna-based agencies in international processes
- Negotiate and influence the design and the implementation of drug policies nationally and internationally
- Gain insight into the key concepts and current issues related to the international drug control regime and its intersection with public health and human rights
- Identify the stakeholders of the current drug policy debate and international processes
- Prioritise public health based approaches to drug policy at national level

- The international Drug Control Regime
- Drug policy, public health, harm reduction, human rights
