and INNPD has denounced Brazil\u00b4s drug policy to the UN","content":"<div class=\"tts_content_wrapper_1\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Friday (2), Conectas and INNPD (Black Initiative for a New Drug Policy) presented a denouncement against Brazil at the 47th session of the United Nations HRC (Human Rights Council), regarding the country\u00b4s policy on drug control.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The organisations drew attention to the risks of actions being taken based on a \u201cpolicy of abstinence for drug users, depleting community services, undermining universal access to public health, while investing heavily in private treatment centres which are not suitably monitored.\u201d The denouncement goes on to say that \u201cpeople are being sent to these places under pressure from the police.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In another extract from the speech it is stressed that \u201cthe use of drugs is still a crime in the country and that the Supreme Federal Court (STF) has indefinitely postponed analysis of the case.\u201d This was a reference to the discussion on decriminalisation that started in 2015, in the STF, but was stayed at the request of Minister Teori Zavascki, who died in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cStrengthening a violent, criminalizing model to control drug use reinforces the mechanisms for killing as a state policy in Brazil, where an average 50,000 deaths have been recorded every year for over a decade with no reduction in the figures relating to violence during the pandemic.\u201d It says in another part of the oral statement presented by Eduardo Ribeiro, from INNPD, who represented the organisations at the UN.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Watch the denouncement at the UN Human Rights Council in full here:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Eduardo Santos (INNPD) - Den\u00fancia feita pela
