During her speech at UN General Assembly Ms Asiya said that UN must take on this challenge head on and show the way to ridding humanity of this global drug menace. We have only two options: a drug-free world or a drug-doomsday—-which we cannot afford. Compromises and half-way measures cannot endure over time and are bound to eventually fall apart. I am not against any approach but, I really want to highlight the important role of prevention and stronger community coalition in this field. It’s either now or never, so we must act. Let UN define the vision, and set goal, priorities and benchmarks, for realizing a drug-free world within our lifetime.”
