The 2018 Support. Don’t Punish Global Day of Action was the largest to date! On [or around] 26 June, this sixth Day of Action mobilised thousands of people in over 220 cities of 98 countries to call for an end to the war on drugs. We all face different challenges in our communities, but we are united by the realisation that drug policies must be based on public health and human rights.

26th June is the United Nations International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking – a day that on which many governments celebrate their contributions to the global ‘war on drugs’. In the past, some governments have even commemorated this day by holding public executions or beatings of drug offenders.

All organizations and other actors in the drug field were invited to participate in the selection organized by Norway's leading user organization, the Association for Human Drug Policy and proLARNETT, and were held in Oslo and Bergen, Norway.

By taking part in the Global Day of Action, we can help to “reclaim” the message on this important day.
26th June 2018 was the 6th Day of Action organised so far. Last year, thousands of people across 205 cities in 93 countries took part in the fifth global day of action for the Support Don’t Punish campaign to call for better drug policies anchored in public health and human rights.

26th June is also the United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture – an ironic coincidence given the widespread torture and abuse suffered in the name of the war on drugs.
