Anniversaries are always good to catalyize drug policy reform activities \u2013 and 2011 is very special anniversary. It is the 50th anniversary of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs<\/a>, the first international treaty prohibiting (some) drugs. NGOs launched an international campaign to show the world that the war on drugs creates massive costs, resulting from the enforcement-led approach that puts organised crime in control of the trade. We call governments to evaluate the international drug control system. The Hungarian Civil Liberties Union (HCLU) is one of the leading organizations of this campaign. After creating the fictional Drug Lords International (DLI) in March<\/a> to represent those criminals who benefit from the war on drugs, in June we mobilized our partners in the European Drug Policy Initiative (EDPI<\/a>) to organize coordinated actions in five European cities – Sofia, Bucharest, Warsaw, Oslo, Porto – to raise public awareness on the costs of the war on drugs.<\/p>\n Watch and share the video reports of the HCLU\u00a0on the campaign events!<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n SHORT COUNT THE COSTS PROMO MOVIE<\/p>\n
