Human Rights and Drug Policy Workshop in Hong Kong
The Human Rights and Drug Policy Workshop will be held at the Centre for Criminology at the University of Hong Kong from October 16 to October 20, 2017.
The workshop will focus on the connections between human rights, public health, and drug policy as well as the gap between these principles and practice in the implementation of drug policies in Asia. The workshop will familiarize participants with the international drug control system, regional trends in drug markets (supply, transit, and demand), and comparative case studies of alternative approaches to managing drug use in society as a health and social concern.

- government staff working on drug policy and health
- individuals from civil society working in public health, human rights, development, journalism, law, public policy, etc., with an interest in drug policy
