Fact Sheet

The Vienna Declaration fact sheet is a quick reference document that may be used

• By media requiring additional information to draft a story
• To supplement the research and information provided in the Declaration itself
• To provide speaking points at a public forum or discussion about drug policy

More specifically, it highlights key data and evidence supporting the Declaration and describing the range of health and social harms that result from an over-reliance on drug law enforcement. Some of these facts are included in the Declaration itself while others are derived from leading research studies or government agency reports to further illustrate the failings and harms of drug prohibition.

The sources for all data included in the fact sheet are listed in the references, should further information be needed. The fact sheet provides a summary of key evidence and is not a complete list of research on drug policy issues.
