UN recommendation

Argymhelliad Cymreig clir

Dylai’r Llywodraeth adolygu ei chyfreithiau a mabwysiadu dull hawliau dynol o ymdrin â defnyddio cyffuriau. Dylai wneud y canlynol:
(a) Codi ymwybyddiaeth o risgiau iechyd difrifol i atal camddefnyddio cyffuriau, yn enwedig ymysg pobl ifanc;
(b) Sicrhau bod pobl yn gallu cael eu trin am anhwylder defnyddio cyffuriau a bod gofal iechyd, cymorth seicolegol, adsefydlu a lleihau niwed ar gael iddynt. Dylai’r Llywodraeth ystyried adsefydlu yn hytrach na chosbi am ddefnyddio cyffuriau.


Original UN recommendation

The Committee recommends that the State Party, along with the devolved governments of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, review its legislative framework to adopt a human rights-based approach to drug use, including by:
(a) Conducting preventive awareness-raising on the serious health risks associated with drug abuse, particularly among young people;
(b) Ensuring the treatment of drug use disorder and the provision of healthcare services, psychological support, rehabilitation services and harm reduction programmes for persons who use drugs and considering the adoption of alternatives to the punitive approach and criminal penalties for drug use.
