Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs

The "Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs" is a seminal legal document established by the United Nations in 1961, representing a pivotal effort to create a unified framework for the global control of narcotic substances. The Convention articulates the rights and obligations of countries regarding the production, distribution, and consumption of narcotic drugs, emphasizing an intricate balance between addressing medical needs and mitigating the public health risks associated with narcotic misuse. Its formal and prescriptive style reflects the extensive deliberations of member states, rooted in the broader historical context of drug regulation and moral considerations surrounding substance use. Drawing upon his extensive experience in international law and public health, the United Nations, as the author of this document, sought to address the rising concerns over narcotic drug abuse during the mid-20th century. The Convention was influenced by preceding international agreements and socio-political dynamics, positioning the UN as a facilitator of cooperation among nations for a comprehensive drug policy. This collaborative effort illustrates the complexity of synthesizing divergent national laws and public health policies while asserting the urgency of global standards. This book is indispensable for scholars, policymakers, and public health experts interested in drug regulation and international law. It provides critical insights into the development of drug policies and the challenges of balancing health protection with societal norms. Readers are encouraged to engage with this foundational text to understand the implications of international narcotics control and its enduring impact on contemporary drug policies.
