Colombia and Mexico, with the tacit backing of the US, will push for an open international debate about the legalization of drugs at next weekend’s Summit of the Americas in a recognition that the four-decade long policy of drug prohibition has failed.
The aim is to assemble a cross-country working group to examine the implications and possible regulatory framework of legalising some or all drugs, such as cannabis and cocaine. The findings of the non-partisan panel would be presented to the UN for co-ordinated international action.
