Rome Consensus for a Humanitarian Drug Policy information


The Rome Consensus for a Humanitarian Drug Policy is a framework for dialogue and cooperation that commits 114 National Societies of Red Cross and Red Crescent from Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe to promote and implement humanitarian approaches to drug policy. The Rome Consensus aims at raising the profile of drug policy to the forefront of social concerns, hinging formulation and implementation of drug control on public health concerns.

The foundation text of the Rome Consensus reinforces the Red Cross - Red Crescent movement's engagement in drug policy. In a nutshell, within the Rome Consensus Declaration National Societies:

  • Recognize the need for a new humanitarian, realistic, public health and socially based drug policy;
  • Establish a new commitment to a humanitarian drug policy based on reason and compassion that generates action, free from ideology, force, stigmatization and discrimination;
  • Commit the strength of the Red Cross - Red Crescent Movement provided by its auxiliary role to national governments on humanitarian assistance, to actively encourage the formulation and implementation of a humanitarian drug policy that saves lives and alleviates human suffering.

The Global Media Centre handles their media outreach.
