At the UNITE Parliamentarians Network for Global Health in Berlin, our colleague from Global Partnership on Drug Policies and Development had the opportunity to contribute to the discussion on aligning #DrugPolicies with international #humanrights commitments. 👏 We highlighted the International Guidelines on Human Rights and Drug Policy as a crucial tool for promoting health, dignity, and development-oriented drug policies worldwide. Available in multiple languages, these guidelines are shaping reforms around the world. Learn more about them here: https://lnkd.in/eG3-sW7J 👇👇👇
It was a great pleasure and an honor to be invited to speak alongside Helen Clark, Judy Chang and Ajeng Larasati on an all-female panel moderated by Kiti Kajana Phillips, MPH at the UNITE Global Parlamentarian Summit in Berlin yesterday. Every statement underlined the need to stronger align drug policies with International Human Rights committments - be it the promotion of life-saving harm reduction approaches, a meaningful involvement of people who use drugs or cultivate drug crops for sheer subsistance or criminal justice reforms in line with human dignity and non-discrimination. An important tool to guide the drafting and implementation of laws as well as for advocating for human rights- and development-centered drug policy reform are the International Guidelines on Human Rights and Drug Policy, available here: https://lnkd.in/dhMCm4W5 They have been translated in Arabic, French, Spanish, Russian and Portuguese and are guiding reform processes in favour of public health, sustainable development and basic human rights in drug policy approaches around the globe since their launch in 2019. A crucial instrument for the Parliamentarians organized in the global #UNITE Network to bring about fundamental change and promote global health and wellbeing without leaving anyone behind.
