Assistant Secretary Ferdaussi Masnar of the Dangerous Drugs Board represented the Philippines at the Global Meeting of the International Network for Legislation on Drugs (INLOD) in Vienna, Austria.
The forum convened parliamentarians, legislators, policymakers, and experts from around the world to share knowledge and strengthen legislative responses against synthetic drugs through enhanced global coordination. This pivotal gathering provided an opportunity to exchange experiences and best practices, focusing on the role of national parliaments in crafting legislation that is not only compliant with but also strongly adherent to international law.
As the Philippines continues to align with international standards and practices in the pursuit of effective policies and strategies for drug prevention and control, the Dangerous Drugs Board remains steadfast in its commitment to enhancing legislative frameworks. This includes fostering collaboration with international counterparts, adopting evidence-based approaches, and ensuring that national laws are responsive to emerging drug trends.
