Supporting United Nations Drug Initiatives And Legislation
Project: SUNDIAL is an international collaboration whose goal is to garner support for the United Nations (UN) Conventions on Illicit Drug Abuse from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and individuals around the world. We promote a balanced drug policy rooted in prevention, treatment, research, and law enforcement, but we also realize that drug problems can find relief when societies aim to alleviate the human suffering related to poverty, hunger, poor economic opportunities, health care disparities, and infectious diseases.
In 2008, delegates from around the world are gathering in Vienna at the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) conference. We want to demonstrate that there are people and organizations in the world that support the work of the UN to curb illicit drug use and trafficking through a balanced policy. The 2008 meeting is a prelude to a much larger meeting taking place in 2009, the United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS). In time for UNGASS, we want to present delegates with more than a million signatures to show our support for international goals against drug abuse. By contrast, a minority of well-funded NGOs are organizing to dismantle and rewrite the Conventions so as to open the door for countries to implement legalization and drug liberalization measures under international law.
