Antonio Maria Costa's conviction that "countries have the drug problem they deserve" if they fail to follow the 'Swedish Model' in drug control has also been criticised in Peter Cohen's work – Looking at the UN, smelling a rat.
Antonio Maria Costa veendumust, et riikidel, mis uimastituru piiramise “Rootsi mudelit” ei järgi, “on just selline uimastiprobleem, mille nad on ise ära teeninud”, on kritiseerinud ka Peter Cohen artiklis "Looking at the UN, smelling a rat" (“Näeb välja nagu ÜRO, aga lõhnab kahtlaselt”).
