The summer has been flying by with the International AID’s conference, the Caravan for Peace and my participation last month in a two-week course presented by the Open Society Foundation supported Central European University on Human Rights and Drug Policy. The goal of the course is to "situate drug policies globally within a framework of fundamental human rights, and to assess the extent to which country and international drug policies fail to meet human rights standards." Clearly this is a lofty goal, but we got started right away and began looking at the intersection between human rights and drug policy.
