The global liberation of the sacred #cocaleaf is critical to uphold the rights of Indigenous Peoples of the Andean Amazonian region. #Coca has been prohibited for over 50 years based on racist & colonial prejudice. The #WHO has begun an overdue review.

At the last CND in March 2025, Colombia led a resolution that creates an independent expert panel that will conduct a long-over review of the UN drug control ‘machinery’. Her leadership has been exceptional 🥰

WATCH 👀 My interview w/ the inspiring @Lauraggils Colombia's Ambassador At-Large for Drug Policy. In 2 years, she has shaken up the moribund and fossilised UN drug policy debate!
We wish all the best as she moves to @OAS_official & will miss her greatly.
'Nothing ever happens in Vienna,' they said — but Amb. @Lauraggils proved otherwise.
Breaking taboos, building coalitions & leaning on #CivilSociety, her #DrugPolicyReform leadership shifted the dial.

Naomi Burke-Shyne was a one-of-a-kind leader — smart, open-hearted, and deeply committed. We were lucky to work alongside her and mourn her untimely passing. Our thoughts go out to her family & loved ones.

.@Winnie_Byanyima joins the #SupportDontPunish campaign, calling for a rights-based approach to drug policy.
Criminalization of drug use discourages uptake of HIV services, drive users underground & lead to unsafe practices. Decriminalization saves lives.
