mong a number of compelling reasons for the inter- national community to reconsider the "war on drugs," the HIV/AIDS epidemic is the most urgent. The prevailing emphasis on law enforcement in drug policy has failed to produce its purported benefits, yet many coun- tries insist on enforcing prohibition and resist the imple- mentation of evidence-based measures to reduce the health- related harms of drug use. These policies disregard the available scientific evidence, and in so doing directly con- tribute to the harms associated with illicit drug use, includ- ing the spread of HIV/AIDS. 1 Moreover, they contravene human rights obligations under international law. Develop- ments in the coming weeks will indicate whether the World Health Organization and the member states of the United Nations can rise to the challenge of mitigating the negative health impacts of global drug control treaties or whether timidity in the face of ideological bullying will prevail. Roughly 40 million people are infected with HIV world- wide, of whom an estimated 5 million were infected during 2003 alone. 2 Some 3 million people died of HIV/AIDS last year. 2
