On this edition of Century of Lies: Drug Policy, HIV, and Health.
The High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development is the central United Nations platform for the follow-up and review of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. HLPF 2025 was held the 14 through the 23 of July in New York. A number of side events were held at the HLPF, including one held July 17 entitled Evidence and Science-Based Approaches in Drug Policy, HIV and Health: Good Practices and Windows of Opportunity.
On this week’s Century we hear portions of that event, including presentations by Anton Basenko, Executive Director of the International Network of People who Use Drugs; Jindrich Voboril, a leading expert on drug use and the former national drug coordinator of the Czech Republic; and Catherine Cook, Acting Executive Director of Harm Reduction International.
