Developing a better understanding of the meaning of human rights in drug
policy.
When people have a history of dependence, they often experience stigmatisation
and are frequently perceived as criminals. This stigma has a negative impact
on their lives, therefore the issue of human rights for people who use drugs
is crucial and needs to be taken seriously, and urgently, into consideration.
This publication puts into perspective different country situations and
practices. It helps countries to enlarge their view on how to integrate a
human right approach into the daily life of people who use drugs, in a
concrete manner.
This report provides an overview of the situation of human rights and drugs
policy in the 18 participating countries of the Pompidou Group’s Mediterranean
network for co-operation on drugs and addictions (MedNET). The research was
conducted by collecting data in these countries, covering both the northern
and southern rims of the Mediterranean, on specifics issues linked to human
rights and people who use drugs. It is the second, and more exhaustive, effort
to gather information on this important topic which underlies the Pompidou
Group’s mission. In 2022, the research includes new topics such as the issue
of children of parents who use drugs and children who use drugs themselves,
the gender dimension in prevention and treatment, the treatment and care
services available in prison and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on drug
policy.
