Human Rights and Substance Use: The Rights Framework for Drug Policy

People who use drugs are human beings with human rights. This simple statement has profound implications for drug policy—implications that prohibition-focused approaches have often ignored. A human rights framework for drug policy centers on dignity, health, freedom from torture, and non-discrimination. Understanding this framework helps citizens evaluate whether drug policies respect the rights of all people, including those who use substances.
