Switzerland joins the 1972 Protocol amending the Single Convention

Switzerland acceded to the Protocol amending the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs on 22 April 1996. 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]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Switzerland here.
