The incredible Marcela Jofré Harm Reduction International calls out the appalling failure of the intl community to take meaningful action against the death penalty for drug offences. The silence of many, including UNODC, risks being misconstrued as tolerance. Link👉 hri.global/publications/a…

History was made today at the #CND67. The stifling "Vienna consensus" was finally broken with US led resolution on overdose passed by voting majority with #harmreduction language. #history #harmreduction #viennaconsensus

La voz de Colombia 🇨🇴se escucha fuerte en Naciones Unidas #CND67. Hoy se rompió el “consenso de Viena” y se aprobó una Resolución histórica sobre reducción de daños. Se abre camino a una política internacional de drogas que salvará vidas!

Here's the historic moment when harm reduction language was *finally* included in a CND resolution following only the second vote (the first being moments before) on a resolution in over 60 years. Only Russia and China opposed. 42/

Ha pasado algo excepcional en la historia de la diplomacia de Colombia y se constituye en nuestro segundo gran triunfo internacional, el primero fue detener las pretensiones de Nicaragua sobre nuestro mar Caribe. El segundo es este, sin mayores comentarios mediáticos, Laura Gil,

The NAO confirms what I (and many others) have been saying: the DFID/FCO merger has been particularly brutal on the UK’s once-lauded development expertise:

Breaking 1/2: Alongside Te Rau Ora NZ Drug Foundation just launched our shared values to underpin harm reduction practice in Aotearoa, developed with PWUD, our sector & hui Māori. These Māori values were gifted to us and are for everyone working on HR in NZ Harm Reduction International drugfoundation.org.nz/topics/policy-…
