Yes, we have to look at the demand. " The Secretary of State of the United States, John Kerry, sentenced on Wednesday with these words a change of direction in the fight against drugs in the Americas. That was the will of Guatemala and a group of 14 countries in the General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS) held in Antigua, and Kerry's words were more than enough achievement. Only a year ago, highlighted a number of diplomats, was unthinkable even opening the debate. "We welcome a healthy discussion," said Kerry. "President Obama has been very clear in their desire to bring about change in the dynamics between the United States and other countries on drugs."
The OAS meeting was claimed by Guatemala to impose a discussion of the war on drugs on the continent, world-class problem in America but starkly shows the consequences in its production phase in South America, in the drug trade in Central and in American consumption. The world drug criminalization dates from the sixties. The purpose of this meeting is to produce a minimum consensus to allow a few months to have a common position as a continent to influence a substantial change in drug conference convened by the UN in 2016.
The U.S. position has not changed exactly. What he has done is to introduce a tint, giving more importance to social policies to reduce the demand for drugs, which is added to total confrontation against trafficking and production. Both in his statement to the Assembly as to journalists, Kerry always expressed in very general terms, but making it clear that the United States does not close the debate in international organizations. "I think it's important to remain committed to a balanced and wide," he said.
The Secretary of State sought to reduce political discussion about drugs. "We are building on science, not ideology" to focus part of the struggle to reduce demand, he said. United States did not want the final document of the General Assembly to convene a special meeting next year monograph on the subject, but the Guatemalan Foreign Minister Fernando Carrera, said Wednesday night that there was consensus on summon. The initial objective of Guatemala was to convene a summit of presidents.
"The United States can not claim to have a monopoly on the best way to fight drugs. There are no simple answers or definitive solutions. All countries should consider their own circumstances and experiences, "he told the Secretary of State Assembly.
Kerry gave the example of successful policies to reduce consumption of substances that applied in snuff and alcohol, but also said that in the past five years the United States has achieved a decline of between 40% and 50% of drug , particularly cocaine. "One way is to help the addict," said Kerry, referring to drug users as patients, an important nuance penal approach against drugs. "The United States has already taken steps in reducing demand." The Secretary of State stressed the importance of working in the education and rehabilitation of addicts.
Two U.S. states, Colorado and California, Uruguay share the experience of having decriminalized marijuana for recreational use. Mexico is also testing some decriminalization of personal consumption.
The other half of Kerry's speech was that "we must also focus on banning". "Maintaining force [against drug trafficking] not to flood the country with temptations while trying to reduce the demand," said Kerry. "What goes in, is consumed. You have to break that cycle. "
