Allan Clear of the Harm Reduction Coalition Blogs on CND
Allan Clear, Executive Director of the Harm Reduction Coalition, is also blogging from CND. His first blog item - USA Fumbles Drug Policy in Vienna - is online now.
The Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) is the central policy-making body of the UN drug control system. Despite its key mandate, the CND chooses to work in secrecy - its meetings are not webcast, minutes or summary records are not available to the public, and the reports of the meeting are extremely limited. The CND Blog is a joint civil society effort to ensure transparency and provide hour-by-hour records of the discussions and decisions adopted at the 2012 CND.
Reporting on CNDblog is uploaded by a group of bloggers from a number of international NGOs as the debates themselves are taking place, making CNDblog the fastest and most complete record of what is happening at CND.
