Synopsis

Half a century after world leaders signed the UN drug convention and committed to the eradication of illicit drugs, it has become obvious that prohibition did not turn out as planned. Not only have the drug laws failed to deliver us from the problems associated with drug use, but as the disastrous consequences of the drug war have become more apparent, the problematic relationship to human rights law becomes more obvious.

This book spells out these problems. The author takes us through the thinking behind our human rights conventions and by means of principled reasoning details how drug laws violate fundamental rights.

The book is a must for anyone who wants to understand what the rights-oriented debate is all about, and whether you are a drug user who want to know your rights, a public official who want to know your duties, or a concerned citizen who simply want to learn more, it will tell you what you need to know.
