The War on Drugs and HIV/AIDS - How the Criminalization of Drugs Fuels the Global Pandemic
by
Global Commission on Drugs Policy
The report describes the remarkable failure of drug law enforcement policies in reducing global drug supply. The Commissioners also urge countries that under-utilize proven addiction treatment and public health measures to immediately scale up evidence-based strategies to reduce HIV infection and protect community health and safety. These measures include sterile syringe distribution, safer injecting facilities, and prescription heroin programs.
