United Nations Response

[ohmbudsman]

Respect for national sovereignty is a key concept for Member States of the United Nations.

 

Article 2 (7) of the United Nations Charter states "Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state...".

 

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) can recommend and offer guidelines, but it is the prerogative of Member States to formulate national policy.

Been meaning to post and say thanks for the info ohmbudsman and glad to see your still posting

I assume your pointing out that this gives some room for movement within the 1961 Single Treaty for member states to choose their own drug policy within their own jurisdictions??

I'm guessing the same Article 2 (7) of the United Nations Charter also protect asylum seekers.

 

Any grip would be better than slippin!
