The International Drug Policy Consortium (IDPC) is a global network of more than 130 civil society organisations that come together to promote objective and open debates on national and international drug policies. This document outlines the five main “asks” that the Consortium members will collectively call for between now and 2016. These “asks” have been developed through detailed consultations with IDPC members and partners, and will each be the subject of more detailed briefing papers in the coming months:
ASK 1: Ensure an open and inclusive debate
ASK 2: Re-set the objectives of drug policies
ASK 3: Support policy experimentation and innovation
ASK 4: End the criminalisation of the most affected populations
ASK 5: Commit to the harm reduction approach
