EVENT: Shared Mistakes: Societies Address Mass Incarceration, the Death Penalty and Extrajudicial Killings

Across the world, many countries have imposed draconian legal sanctions, and sometimes illegal sanctions, in response to real or alleged drug law violations. "Shared Mistakes" will focus on the issues of mass incarceration, the death penalty, and extrajudicial killings, with speakers from Malaysia, the Philippines and United States discussing the policies and achieved or hoped-for reforms.

Report: Trump Admin Actually Considering Mexico Attack

Dear friends,

Last month Phil wrote about the administration designating Mexican drug cartels as terrorist groups, and the possibility that could be a prelude to staging military attacks inside Mexico. Last week, the New York Times reported they are actually considering it.

DRUG POLICY REFORM: GLOBAL

In 2023, we are engaging with US foreign policy related to drugs in the legislative process, pressing human rights, rule of law issues and accountability in drug policy at the Human Rights Council and elsewhere; and returning to our advocacy linking human rights with the need for alternatives to prohibition, opposing the death penalty, supporting the global NGO reform agenda for drug policy.

Rule of Law in Drug Policy (Philippines campaign)

StoptheDrugWar.org's Rule of Law program (previously referred to as our Philippines program) engages serious human rights abuses in the global drug war. Still having a primary focus on extrajudicial killings in the Philippines, the program has help to draw attention to former President Rodrigo Duterte's drug war killing campaign that NGOs believe has taken the lives of 30,000 people without trial, and in which killings still continue at a reported rate near one per day.

There's Still A Drug War.

The Fight for Change Continues.
