Drug Control And Human Rights

EDM number 384 in 2012-13, proposed by John McDonnell on 11/07/2012.
Categorised under the topics of Drugs crimes and Human rights.

That this House deplores the use of the death penalty for drugs and the worldwide prevalence of detention centres for drug offences; commends the recent report from Harm Reduction International, Partners in Crime, which identifies nations where international aid for drug enforcement has often resulted in gross human rights violations; notes that in the name of drug control, donor countries are supporting practices in other countries that they themselves regard as morally reprehensible and illegal; and calls on the Government to act on the report's recommendations to promote drug control policies that truly respect, protect and fulfil human rights.

This motion has been signed by a total of 17 MPs.
