Congratulations to all at IHRA and Human Rights Watch for the excellent wotk on the death penalty report and the behind the scenes work at the UN and UNODC. The change in tone from the UNODC on this important issue is a major and very welcome step forward in addressing one of the most appalling manifestations of modern drug control policy.

I hope the UN move to make all drug related aid to individual states conditional on a moratorium that the death penalty will not be used for drug offenses and international human rights law will be adhered to in all respects of drug enforcement and policy more generally.
