International Guidelines on Human Rights and Drug Policy: Reviewing Progress and Catalysing Future Action (Consultation)

A public consultation is being held from 20 October to 7 November 2025 to assess progress and gather insights on the implementation of the International Guidelines on Human Rights and Drug Policy. The consultation seeks input from community-led and civil society organizations, governments, and experts working on drug policy, harm reduction, sustainable livelihoods, and human rights. Findings will inform UN system discussions on evidence-based, rights-centered, and development-oriented drug policies, highlighting good practices, challenges, and opportunities to strengthen cooperation and promote inclusive, health-focused approaches.
