ONU 2016: Des milliers d'appels pour en finir avec la guerre à la drogue

14.04.2016

Une pétition mondiale a recueilli des milliers de signatures dans le cadre de la Session extraordinaire de l'Assemblée générale des Nations Unies sur les drogues (UNGASS) qui débutera le 19 avril 2016 à New York. Elle exhorte les États à arrêter les politiques de répression désastreuses et à s'engager pour les droits humains. La Suisse, pionnière avec la politique des quatre piliers, sera représentée à l'UNGASS par le Conseiller fédéral Alain Berset.

Ci-dessous, des extraits vidéos de quelques un des signataires sur les dommages de la guerre à la drogue.
