POSTPONED: Embassy of Uruguay: Alternative Approaches to the War on Drugs
Wednesday, May 21, 6:30pm -8:00pm
1913 Eye St, NW Washington, DC 20006
Please join Young Professionals in Foreign Policy and Ambassador Juan Carlos Pita Alvariza, the Ambassador of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay to the United States for a discussion on the future of drug policy approaches on the international level as well as Uruguay’s recent reforms.
Fifty years after the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, and forty years since the war on drugs became a popularized term in the U.S., some countries are exploring alternative approaches to addressing drug policies. Uruguay has been a strong advocate on the international stage for increased debate on the international drug control system and has emphasized the need to consider human rights issues in discussions of drug policy. It has been a member of the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs from 2008 to 2014 and has participated in the last five sessions of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs in Vienna. In addition to its role on the international stage, Uruguay enacted a law in December of 2013 which legalized and regulates cannabis.
