Bangladesh joins the 1972 Protocol amending the Single Convention

Bangladesh acceded to the Protocol amending the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs on 9 May 1980. The Protocol, adopted in Geneva on 25 March 1972 and in force from 8 August 1975, strengthened the international control board and, among other changes, lets parties provide treatment, education, after-care and rehabilitation for people who use drugs, as an alternative to conviction or punishment or in addition to it.[1]
