Globally, recognition is growing that common prohibitionist drug policies contribute to drug-related harms and have not succeeded. Identified harms include the current drug overdose crisis in North America and a surge in overdose deaths in Australia, adding new force to calls for urgent reform. This project aims to respond to these calls by exploring how human rights considerations can inform improvements to drug policy. The project seeks to generate new knowledge on how human rights can guide reform so as to improve social, economic and health outcomes. The project should provide significant benefits to the nation, informing Australian legal, policy and practice reforms as well as international efforts to reduce drug-related harms.

在全球范围内，人们日益认识到，共同的禁毒政策助长了与毒品有关的危害，而且没有取得成功。已确定的危害包括目前北美的药物过量危机和澳大利亚过量死亡人数的激增，为呼吁紧急改革增添了新的力量。该项目旨在通过探讨人权考虑如何为改进毒品政策提供信息来响应这些呼吁。该项目力求产生关于人权如何指导改革的新知识，以改善社会、经济和卫生成果。该项目将为国家带来重大利益，为澳大利亚的法律的、政策和实践改革以及减少毒品相关危害的国际努力提供信息。
