Plenary: Applying a Human Rights Framework to Drug Policy

As activists we often talk about how we want a human rights centered approach to drug policy. But what does that actually mean, and what would such policies look like? It is well documented how drug control efforts around the world have resulted in serious abuses of human rights, including but not limited to: extrajudicial killings, torture or inhumane treatment by police, arbitrary detention, and denial of basic health services or essential medicines. This plenary will examine how human rights standards can provide a useful framework for drafting people-centered drug policies, and provoke a discussion about why and how we, as advocates for drug policy reform, can and should center human rights in our work. Moderator: Jake Agliata ’11 Speakers: Heather Haase, JD Dr. Joanne Csete, PhD, MPH Sanho Tree
