Le cours, qu'il est possible de commencer à n'importe quelle date, ouvre le 27 juillet pour quatre semaines de cours. Inscrivez-vous, c’est gratuit !

Global Health and Drug Policy, 19-21 October 2020
Graduate Institute (IHEID) The 2016 United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) on the World Drug Problem set the tone for the drug policy reform debate, but moving forward, many fear that this tone will be lost. In this 3-day course we will explore questions such as: What should the new direction post-2019 be for the future UN governance of international drug policy? How can different actors contribute to a global process in order to ensure that drug policies improve rather than harm the health and welfare of people? What should the role of civil society and user networks be in the international debate on drug policies?
