Whose rights? Rethinking human rights narrative in drug policy
I det här webbinariet diskuterar vi hur narkotikapolitiken kan värna både folkhälsa och individens rättigheter. Vi lyfter också hur starka finansiärer, som Open Society Foundations, har påverkat FN:s arbete – och hur det format samtalet i en alltmer ensidig riktning.
Medverkande:
In global drug policy debates, human rights are often equated with demands for decriminalization or legalization. But this narrow framing overlooks other important rights – including the right to prevention, especially for children and young people.
In this webinar, we explore how drug policy can protect both public health and individual rights. We also highlight how influential funding from actors such as Open Society Foundations has shaped the UN discourse, contributing to an echo chamber of limited perspectives.

23 oktober kl 14.00-15.15
När mänskliga rättigheter lyfts i den globala narkotikadebatten handlar det ofta om krav på avkriminalisering eller legalisering. Men det är ett snävt synsätt som riskerar att skymma andra viktiga rättigheter – som rätten till förebyggande insatser, särskilt för barn och unga.
