On this edition of Century of Lies: Moving Beyond Punishment.
The Global Commission on Drug Policy released a report recently entitled Beyond Punishment: From Criminal Justice Responses to Drug Policy Reform, which exposes how punitive drug policies have driven mass incarceration and grave human rights violations around the world. The report was presented at a side event entitled Beyond Punishment: From Criminal Justice Responses to Drug Policy Reform, which was held May 21 during the Thirty Fourth Session of the UN’s Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice.
This week on Century we’ll hear presentations from that event by His Excellency Raphael Nägeli, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Switzerland to the OSCE, United Nations and other International Organizations in Vienna; Doctor Graham Alabaster, Head of the Geneva Office of UN-Habitat; Olivia Rope, Executive Director of Penal Reform International; and Her Excellency Laura Gil, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Colombia to the United Nations in Vienna.
