- Human rights violations occurring as a consequence of drug control is a new and emerging subject of legal scholarship, as well as an issue of growing international attention. Based on eight years of legal and archival research, as well as the author’s own professional involvement in shaping these debates at the UN level, this monograph represents the first book-length academic treatment of the topic. Tracing over 100 years of international legal evolution, as well as drawing on domestic, regional and international case law, it proposes a dynamic, human rights-based interpretative approach to resolve tensions and conflicts between the regimes
