Anti-Drug
Campaigners Presents One Million Signatures at UN
Campaigners representing organisations working to combat drugs in Europe have travelled to Vienna to present 1m signatures to the Head of the INCB, Mr Antonio Maria Costas. These signatures have been collected from concerned citizens who are opposed to drug legalisation. Hassela Nordic Network International Centre (www.hnnsweden.com) in Sweden are administering the collection of the signatures. They will express their concerns at the UN Review of their Conventions on Narcotic Drugs during the Ministerial Summit from the 8th to 17th April.
Delegates have expressed anger that representatives of drug liberal organisations who enjoy generous funding from international financier George Soros, among others, are using public institutions such as the European Parliament and the United Nations to gain respectability for their cause which is to legalise all drugs with the expressed aim of controlling the narcotic trade. The former Head of Demand Reduction at the UN Mike Trace (UK) was forced to resign his position recently when it was discovered that he was acting as a ' Fifth Columnist' for this group. Papers showed him to be receiving payments from the Soros' s fund which was incompatible with his position at the UN.
EURAD' s President Grainne Kenny has urged all delegates including Government Ministers attending this Summit to hold firm to the international narcotic agreements as they stand, at the United Nations. They must explore the reasons why drug abuse is increasing and understand that drugs are illegal because they are dangerous; they are not dangerous because they are illegal. Legalisation will not alter the chemical potency or the addictive nature of illicit substances she said.
