On this edition of Century of Lies: Moving Beyond Punishment. The
Global Commission on Drug Policy released a report recently entitled
Beyond Punishment: From Criminal Justice Responses to Drug Policy
Reform, which exposes how punitive drug policies have driven mass
incarceration and grave human rights violations around the world. The
report was presented at a side event entitled Beyond Punishment: From
Criminal Justice Responses to Drug Policy Reform, which was held May
21 during the Thirty Fourth Session of the UN\'s Commission on Crime
Prevention and Criminal Justice. This week on Century we\'ll hear
presentations from that event by His Excellency Raphael Ngeli,
Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Switzerland to the OSCE,
United Nations and other International Organisations in Vienna; Doctor
Graham Alabaster, Head of the Geneva Office of UN-Habitat; Olivia
Rope, Executive Director of Penal Reform International; and Her
Excellency Laura Gil, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of
Colombia to the United Nations in Vienna.
