ECDD40. Procedural, methodological and terminological bias. Joint Civil Society Contribution to the 40 th Meeting of the WHO Expert Committee on Drug Dependence.

This document is an official contribution to the work of the 40 th Meeting of the Expert
Committee on Drug Dependence of the World Health Organization.
It has been written between May 25 th and May 29 th , due to the late publishing of the pre and
Critical review report documents by the World Health Organization. Some minor errors might
have subsisted, due to the extremely limited timeline. We hope that future Meetings will make
documentation available on an earlier basis, according to established rules of proceedings.
This contribution has been endorsed by 68 civil society organizations from 29 countries in all continents (see the full list page 30) as of May 30 th .
An updated list will be made available on faaat.net/ecdd40
