In this blog post, Mahogany Wright from Columbia University shares her thoughts on the recent United Nations Thematic Debate on Drugs and Crime as a Threat to Development.  During the debate, she heard from member-states including, Guatemala, and Uruguay.  Mahogany describes the nuances to international drug policy as well as the inherent opposition created when a member-state chooses something different from the traditional drug control regime.  SSDP was able to attend this high-level debate because of its ECOSOC consultative status.
