The International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) could and should be playing a key role in stopping this injection-driven HIV epidemic \u2014 but it\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the Board \u2014 a 13-person, ostensibly independent body that does not speak for the United Nations but is an integral part of the UN drug control system \u2014 has consistently cautioned against effective HIV prevention measures and failed to highlight critical shortfalls in the global response.<\/p>\n<p>This report examines the problems and proposes recommendations on how the INCB can be reformed to make it more accountable and transparent. Until the INCB changes, it will remain part of the problem rather than part of the solution.<br \/>\n<!-- INCB, Joanne Csete, Daniel Wolfe, United Nations, UN --><p class=\"download-link-button\"><a class=\"download-link en\" title=\"Closed to Reason: The International Narcotics Control Board and HIV\/AIDS\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/download\/11056\/?tmstv=1776488893\" rel=\"nofollow\">\r\n\tDownload<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"publication_topics":[147],"publication_type":[179],"publication_language":[184],"class_list":["post-680","publication22","type-publication22","status-publish","hentry","publication_topics-drug-policy","publication_type-reports","publication_language-english"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication22\/680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication22"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publication22"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication22\/680\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22434,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication22\/680\/revisions\/22434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"publication_topics","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_topics?post=680"},{"taxonomy":"publication_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_type?post=680"},{"taxonomy":"publication_language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hivlegalnetwork.ca\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_language?post=680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
