Résumé :
West Africa is recognised as a trafficking region in the global drug trade. However, increasingly it is also becoming a region of consumption and production. Here the author discusses how the region's governments typically employ repressive policies in response, despite increasing evidence to show that such policies are not only futile but result in gross human rights violations.
