The 53rd Regular Session of the Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission (CICAD) of the Organization of American States (OAS) was inaugurated today in the headquarters of the hemispheric institution in Washington DC, with a focus of the Report on the Drug Problem in the Americas produced by the hemispheric body.
The Chair of CICAD and Minister of Public Security of Costa Rica, Mario Zamora, inaugurated the first plenary session celebrating the fact that “this meeting has been preceded by the presentation of the Report on the Drug Problem in the Americas by the Secretary General of the OAS, José Miguel Insulza.” “Costa Rica agrees with the guiding principles that guide the analytical approach to this issue,” he said.
Upon opening the sequence of speeches, the Minister Zamora invited participants "to overcome the dichotomy between health and safety in addressing this issue," warning that "so far a zero-sum approach has prevailed, where a gain in health is perceived as a loss for security, and vice versa." He then noted that "the public health approach just as much as the public security approach is essential to a strategy that reduces the damages caused by drugs and their consequences."
During the opening session, participants approved the calendar of activities and the draft agenda for the semiannual meeting of CICAD, which ends on Wednesday. It also approved the creation of a Working Group to prepare the annual report of the CICAD, to be presented at the 43rd OAS General Assembly to be held in Antigua, Guatemala, from June 4 to 6.
