United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime
AGENDA:
“Deliberating on the impact of the legalization of illicit drugs with special emphasis on North America”
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) will hold critical deliberations on the impact of legalizing illicit drugs, with a particular focus on North America. Delegates will explore the socio-economic, health, and crime-related consequences of drug legalization, assessing both the benefits and potential risks of such policies. These discussions will analyze how legalization affects public health outcomes, including substance abuse rates and access to treatment, as well as the broader implications for crime rates, organized crime syndicates, and the criminal justice system.
Additionally, the agenda will consider how drug legalization in North America might influence global narcotics control policies, particularly in countries that maintain strict drug prohibition laws. Delegates will aim to strike a balance between public health priorities, criminal justice reforms, and international cooperation on drug-related issues. This nuanced approach will encourage thoughtful, evidence-based discussions that address the complexities of drug legalization while ensuring that global efforts to combat illicit drug trade and trafficking remain robust and effective.
