Résumé :
This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution and operation of international drug control under the auspices of the United Nations (UN). Beginning with the transfer of responsibility for control from the League of Nations it analyses, from a critical perspective, the adoption and implications of the three main international drug control conventions, as well as the role and operation of the drug control bodies that shape the UN drug control architecture. Finally, it provides a novel critical reading of the UN drug regime as a "dispositive" of a heterogeneous ensemble of discourses, institutions, regulatory decisions, laws, scientific statements and moral propositions strategically oriented by a general line of force, with special attention to metrics and statistics as key political tools to enforce drug control and to justify political choices.
