Reports are just coming in over the wires that the website of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has been hacked.

A dummy page , (http://www.unodc.net/Jobs.html) has been uploaded, which has a message everyone with an interest in drugs policy should read, and then act upon..

    • UNODC TRIES to block Site Calling For HIV Prevention Instead of Incarceration for Drug Addicts

      ITS BACK UP NOW!

      http://www.unodc.net/

      If it gets blacked again, you can still send a message to the UN
      This is the email address:
      TO: antonio.maria.costa@unodc.org
      CC:sg@un.org
      SUBJECT: United Nations drugs policy

      Dear Mr Costa
      It would be nothing less than criminal if all proven public health measures to reduce HIV among injecting drug users were not featured uppermost in the Political Declaration that will arise out of the forthcoming High Level Meeting on drugs to be held in Vienna in March.

      The real united nations website is
      http://www.unodc.org/.
      FYI It wasn't hacked . . .just a dummy spoof page created.

    • Hmmm... Maybe they were succesful? The first article on the main page reads...

      4th March 2009 - In a remarkable u-turn, Executive Director of the UNODC, Antonio Maria Costa has called for "opiate substitute therapies (OST), needle-exchange and other scientifically proven harm reduction measures to be made available worldwide" and that this should be "explicitly stated in the Political Declaration" to be published next week. Following communication from the new US Administration, Mr Costa has called upon all countries to sign up to the evidence based harm reduction strategies that are known to save lives. He says that it is "negligent to follow a strategy which has allowed the death of thousands of people and which continues to unnecessarily expose millions to HIV and AIDS when science has provided simple solutions to significantly reduce the number of new infections".

    • Someone should hack the DFAF, and denounce them for their ignorance regarding cannabis and the harmful policies that have kept it illegal!
