This book uses a human rights perspective – developed philosophically, politically and legally – to change the way in which we think about drug control issues. The prohibitionist approach towards tackling the ‘drugs problem’ is not working. The laws and mentality that see drugs as the problem and tries to fight them, makes the ‘drugs problem’ worse. While the law is the best-placed mechanism to regulate our actions in relation to particular drugs, this book argues against the stranglehold of the criminal law, and instead presents a human rights perspective to change the way we think about drug control issues. Part I develops a conceptual framework for human rights in the context of drug control – philosophically, politically and legally – and applies this to the domestic (UK) and international drug control system. Part II focuses on case law to illustrate both the potential and the limitations of successfully applying this unique perspective in practice. The conclusion points towards a bottom-up process for drug policy which is capable of reconfiguring the mentality of prohibition. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of human rights, criminal law, criminology, politics and socio-legal studies.

Among the most commonly argued legal questions are those involving "victimless" crimes--consensual adult sexual relations (including homosexuality and prostitution), the use of drugs, and the right to die. How can they be distinguished from proper crimes, and how can we, as citizens, judge the complex moral and legal issues that such questions entail? David Richards, a teacher of law in the areas of constitutional and criminal law, and a moral and legal philosopher concerned with the investigation of legal concepts, applies an interdisciplinary approach to the question of overcriminalization, he draws on legal and philosophical arguments and links the subject to history, psychology, social science, and literature. To demonstrate how gross and unjust overcriminalization has developed, Professor Richards explores basic assumptions that often underlie the common American sense of proper criminalization.

Half a century after world leaders signed the UN drug convention and committed themselves to the eradication of illicit drugs, it has become painfully obvious that things didn't turn out as planned. Not only have the drug laws failed to deliver us from the problems associated with drug use, but as the disastrous consequences of the drug war have become more apparent, the inherently problematic relationship to human rights law has also become more obvious. This book spells out these problems. The author takes you through the thinking behind our human rights conventions and by means of principled reasoning he details how our drug policies violate fundamental rights. The book is a must for anyone who wants to understand what the rights-oriented debate is all about, and whether you are a drug user who want to know your rights, a public official who want to know your duties, or a concerned citizen who simply want to learn more about these issues, it will tell you what you need to know. "Roar has written a kind of Thomas Paine's Common Sensepamphlet on the war on drugs for our time, which calls for peace and an end to the injustices of the drug war on the basis of principled opposition to unchecked government authority. It's a must consider for anyone interested in what The Declaration of Independence calls, 'natural justice.'" - Kenneth M. White, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice and Political Science, Kennesaw State University. "Not only do we face a prohibition on drugs, we also face a prohibition on a discussion about it. Roar Mikalsen's book challenges both, and he makes strong points at every turn." -Judge James P. Gray (Ret.) Superior Court, Orange County, California. Author: Why Our Drug Laws Have Failed. "Roar has done a great job exposing the normative deficiencies in our drug control policies. Of course they violate human rights law, as he demonstrates so persuasively." -Douglas Husak, Professor of Law, Rutgers University. Author: Drugs and Rights."

Using national drug arrest data from 1980 to 2007, this report illuminates the persistence and extent of racial disparities in the so-called?war on drugs? in the United States. Although blacks and whites engage in drug offenses at roughly comparable rates, blacks have been consistently arrested for drug offenses at rates that are from 2.8 to 5.5 times higher nationwide than white drug arrest rates. In addition, this report reveals that among individual states, black drug arrest rates in a single year, 2006, ranged from 2 to 11.3 times higher than white rates. Finally, the report shows that since 1980, the preponderance of drug arrests have been for possession, not sales. Millions of Americans have acquired a criminal record because they engaged in the minor non-violent offense of drug possession. Human Rights Watch calls on the United States to revise its drug control policies to reduce reliance on criminal prosecution and address these troubling racial disparities.

Challenging the moral hegemony of the prohibitionist logic of the global drug regime, this book explores the human rights of individuals to consume psychoactive drugs. The current approach towards tackling the so-called ¿drugs problem¿ is not working. By viewing drugs as the problem and trying to fight them, the situation gets worse. Accordingly, this book operates on the premise that psychoactive use has always occurred and will always occur in societies. While the law is the best placed mechanism to regulate our actions relating to certain psychoactives, the book argues against the stranglehold of the criminal law, in favour of a human rights based approach; one which is designed to reflect and respond to the human condition. The book is divided into two parts. Part I comprehensively examines the value of ¿human rights¿ on a philosophical, political, legal and institutional basis, in order to elicit their capacity to provide a new perspective on drug control. This human rights perspective is then applied in Part II of the book, which employs the rights to health and religion as conceptual starting points to demonstrate how human rights might improve the drug control framework, and how the lens of human rights can point to different ways of regulating drug consumption. Analysing both UK and international case law, this book develops unique regulatory ideas and insights which better respond to the complexity of human drug use.

In the United States today, the use or possession of many drugs is a criminal offense. Can these criminal laws be justified? What are the best reasons to punish or not to punish drug users? These are the fundamental issues debated in this book by two prominent philosophers of law. Douglas Husak argues in favor of drug decriminalization, by clarifying the meaning of crucial terms, such as legalize, decriminalize, and drugs; and by identifying the standards by which alternative drug policies should be assessed. He critically examines the reasons typically offered in favor of our current approach and explains why decriminalization is preferable. Peter de Marneffe argues against drug legalization, demonstrating why drug prohibition, especially the prohibition of heroin, is necessary to protect young people from self-destructive drug use. If the empirical assumptions of this argument are sound, he reasons, drug prohibition is perfectly compatible with our rights to liberty.
