ABSTRACT
This comparative study analyses on India's narcotics control laws considering worldwide best practices, concentrating on their effectiveness, human rights implications, and alignment with global best practices. Because of its rich culture, large population, and historical relevance in the drugs trade, India's approach to narcotic regulation is of great interest.
The study adopts a multidimensional framework to compare India's legislative framework, enforcement procedures, and policy outcomes to those of other nations with different approaches to drug regulation. Drug scheduling, sanctions, harm control efforts, and the impact on vulnerable populations are all key areas of comparison. The findings highlight both India's strengths and weaknesses in narcotics control regulations, giving light on areas where the country shines and where adjustments are required. There are recommendations to connect India's policies with international norms, emphasizing the necessity of combining law enforcement efforts with harm reduction initiatives, ensuring human rights protection, and addressing the problems faced by India's socio-cultural setting.
This report adds to the continuing worldwide discourse on narcotics control and provides insights for policymakers, law enforcement agencies, and advocacy groups looking to improve India's approach to narcotics regulation in line with international best practices.
