Marine Policy, 1991Co-Authors: William C GilmoreAbstract:Abstract This paper examines the background to and nature of the central provisions of the 1988 UN Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances designed to promote and facilitate the interdiction of drug shipments by sea. The drafting history of Article 17 of that Convention also throws light on continuing differences of view among States as to the jurdical nature of the Exclusive Economic Zone and the powers of coastal States within adjacent contiguous zones.

regime change re visiting the 1961 single convention on Narcotic Drugs
International Journal of Drug Policy, 2012Co-Authors: David R Bewleytaylor, Martin JelsmaAbstract:Abstract Background March 2011 marked the 50th anniversary of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. This legal instrument, the bedrock of the current United Nations based global drug control regime, is often viewed as merely a consolidating treaty bringing together the multilateral drug control agreements that preceded it; an erroneous position that does little to provide historical context for contemporary discussions surrounding revision of the international treaty system. Method This article applies both historical and international relations perspectives to revisit the development of the Convention. Framing discussion within the context of regime theory, a critique of the foundational pre-1961 treaties is followed by detailed content analysis of the official records of the United Nations conference for the adoption of a Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and, mindful of later treaties, an examination of the treaty's status as a ‘single' convention. Results The Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs represents a significant break with the regulative focus of the preceding multilateral treaties; a shift towards a more prohibitive outlook that within international relations terms can be regarded as a change of regime rather than the straightforward codification of earlier instruments. In this respect, the article highlights the abolition of drug use that for centuries had been embedded in the social, cultural and religious traditions of many non-Western states. Further, although often-overlooked, the Convention has failed in its aim of being the ‘single' instrument within international drug control. The supplementing treaties developed in later years and under different socio-economic and political circumstances have resulted in significant inconsistencies within the control regime. Conclusion Having established that a shift in normative focus has taken place in the past, the article concludes that it is timely for the international community to revisit the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs with a view to correcting past errors and inconsistencies within the regime, particularly those relating to Scheduling and traditional drug use.

The research objects are the normative legal documents of the Republic of Tajikistan on the subject of Narcotic Drugs control, which have been accepted by the parliament and government, and also by ministries and departments of the country in the context of the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961. The analysis has shown that a number of legislative documents regulated the questions of the legal circulation control of Narcotic Drugs and providing drug abuse assistance have been accepted in the republic to execute the article 4 of the Single Convention. The controlled substances have been classified depending on application with legitimate aims, and also on the degree of health hazard. The licensing system of activity in the field of legal circulation of Narcotic Drugs, accounting and prescribed distribution has been created. Import and export of Narcotic Drugs are controlled by means of preliminary informing and release of permits valid for one occasion; the system of necessities calculation functions. Thus, the legislative base has been created with the purpose of implementation of the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961 in the republic on the basis of pharmaceutical law.
