Colombian President at UN: War on Drugs Has Not Been Won

No kidding

(Reuters)—The "war on drugs" has not been won, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos told the United Nations on Tuesday, exhorting the world body to add teeth to a special session on drugs in 2016.

"Right here, in this same headquarters, 52 years ago, the convention that gave birth to the war on drugs was approved. Today, we must acknowledge, that war has not been won," Santos told world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly, referring to the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961.
