🇵🇸 As UN SG António Guterres warns of starvation in Gaza, we recall our solidarity statement with the Palestinian people at #CND67 —echoing calls from within the UN Human Rights system & our network.

This is a matter of life and death for thousands. #CeasefireNOW

🇺🇳 HISTORICAL HIGH DRAMA 💥 —The UN CND broke the taboo by voting on resolutions for the 1st time in modern history. Against the so-called 'Vienna spirit', ' #HarmReduction ' was acknowledged in a resolution.

Read Ann Fordham & J Bridge, for the #IDPCblog : idpc.net/blog/2024/03/h…

📢 BREAKING —The UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) recognises ' #HarmReduction ' in a historic *first*.

70%+ of the Commission's 53 members voted to keep the reference, despite Russia's & China's opposition.
#HarmReduction SavesLives

We welcome this historic and groundbreaking resolution—the first recognition of #HarmReduction by the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs—as an important step to rebalance global drug policy towards effective, proven public health responses. #CND #EndTheDrugWar

'The so-called #WarOnDrugs in Aotearoa [New Zealand] is an assault on Indigenous communities. We are not a problem to be solved. We are architects of change'

~Tracey Potiki, International Indigenous Drug Policy Alliance at #CND67

Ruby Lawlor ED Youth RISE:
'Being an international youth-led network of people who use drugs makes it extremely difficult to register and establish the financial management system.
Robert Carr Fund was extremely supportive in this process. Finally we have succeeded!'

During the #CND67 High-level segment at UN Office on Drugs & Crime, #youth was mentioned in 49 out of 120 statements. The staggering majority of the time in a patronising way. We need your help to continue advocating for the rights of young PWUD. 🫵👉 Donate: tinyurl.com/3rw6jnfm

Two fentanyl precursors: BANNED. Now there will be no more fentanyl in North America

(there are at least 5 fentanyl precursors already scheduled in recent years)

The INCB is now moving to fentanyl analogues. INCB President is sort of speedrunning the scheduling explanation of the 2 fentanyl precursors #CND67

Notes scheduling these precursors will thwart the fentanyl supply, which as we know is what happens when things get scheduled!
