الإستراتيجية الخليجية لمكافحة المخدرات والمؤثرات العقلية 2028 - 2025

Abstract

• Adopting a “Comprehensive Security” Approach and Multi-Dimensional Confrontation: Confrontation is no longer limited to the purely security aspect; rather, the strategy has been based on integration between supply reduction (through drying up sources and combating money laundering) and demand reduction(through prevention and treatment), alongside the development of a unified Gulf legislative framework and the establishment of a unified national monitoring system that ensures accuracy and rapid response to emerging threats.
• Strengthening Participatory Community Responsibility: Reinforcing the concept that combating drugs is not solely a governmental responsibility, but rather a collective responsibility that begins with the family as the first line of defense and extends to include schools, media, and religious institutions, culminating in the social reintegration of recovering individuals to ensure sustainable recovery and prevent relapse, thereby creating a community environment that rejects this scourge.
• Institutionalizing Joint Gulf Cooperation and International Partnership: Embodying the high-level political commitment of the leaders of the GCC states through an institutional framework that brings together the ministries of interior, health, justice, and education, as well as customs authorities, while strengthening partnerships with international organizations (such as the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime) to ensure the unification of efforts, capacity building, and the disruption of the financial and logistical sources of cross-border smuggling networks.
