El 32º período de sesiones del Examen Periódico Universal tendrá lugar en Ginebra del 21 de enero al 1 de febrero. Más información, en inglés, está disponible abajo.

According to the Human Rights Council’s “institution-building package”, the Universal Periodic Review Working Group will hold three two-week sessions per year. During each session 16 countries will be reviewed, therefore 48 countries per year and 192 countries by 2011, or the entire UN membership over the course of the first UPR cycle (2008-2011). On 21 September 2007, the Human Rights Council adopted a calendar detailing the order in which the 192 UN Member States will be considered during the first four-year cycle. Each review is facilitated by groups of three States, or “troikas”, who act as rapporteurs.

Examen Periódico Universal: 32º período de sesiones

Esta conferencia tiene como objetivo fomentar un intercambio de ideas sobre políticas y prácticas con respecto a las políticas de control de drogas a nivel multilateral y discutir cómo las políticas de drogas punitivas impactan los mandatos de la Ginebra Internacional. Más información, en inglés, está disponible abajo.

In 2009, UN member states set 2019 as the target date for eradicating the illegal drug market. Next year, the international community will take stock of progress and delineate the global drug strategy for the next decade. In the absence of a formal review for the last 10 years of drug control, the International Drug Policy Consortium (IDPC) has produced a civil society shadow report, which assesses the progress made, or lack thereof, against the objectives of 2009. The analysis shows that the scale of drug cultivation, production, trafficking and use has increased exponentially over the past decade, and the negative impacts on human rights have been severe. This conference aims to encourage an exchange of ideas on policy and practice regarding drug control policies at the multilateral level and discuss how punitive drug policies impact the International Geneva mandates.
