Los reclamos de justicia de las víctimas como política de Estado

Meeting the demands for justice of victims as state policy is in the interest of Mexico, as it would expose the global inequalities of the global prohibition regime of drugs with a view towards the revision of the “Political Declaration and Plan of Action on International Cooperation towards an Integrated and Balanced Strategy to Counter the World Drug Problem”, in 2019. To support this argument, you will find here: 1) an analysis of the origins and development of the global regime for the prohibition of drugs promoted by United Nations in the 20th Century; 2) an interpretation of the Mexican history of drug poli- cies from the 17th century to the present day, taking as analytic framework the recognition of rights to users of marijuana and peyote by the Mexican justice system; and 3) the proposal to strengthen the notion of “social harm” by incorporating studies of violations of human rights, processes of victim- ization and social costs of drug policies as a whole, a complex phenomenon whose study can reveal the unequal relations between countries imposed by the global drug prohibition regime.
