The International Drug Policy Consortium (IDPC), a global network of over 190 civil society and community organisations, welcomes the European Commission’s call for evidence on the new EU Drug Strategy. IDPC calls on the European Commission to deliver a drug strategy that reflects the EU’s core values of human rights, social justice, and public health. This includes broadening the strategy beyond supply reduction, protecting civil society, prioritising harm reduction, supporting national innovation, and continuing to lead by example on the international stage.

  1. Avoid an overemphasis on supply reduction
  2. Safeguard civil society participation
  3. Reinforce an evidence- and rights-based approach
  4. Prioritise harm reduction and the right to health
  5. Enable policy innovation
  6. Strengthen the EU’s role at the UN
