Carta de Derechos de las Personas Afectadas por el Consumo de Sustancias - Colaboración Nacional de Escocia
11 diciembre 2024
National Collaborative - Scotland
El IDPC se complació de unirse al lanzamiento de la Carta, acogiendo con satisfacción su compromiso con la participación de la sociedad civil y animando al liderazgo político a dotar de recursos su aplicación. Más información, en inglés, está disponible abajo.
The Charter draws from the International Guidelines on Human Rights and Drug Policy which sets out best practice as identified by the UN. It is intended to provide a guide to adopting a human rights-based approach in decision making.
The purpose is to:
- Support people affected by substance use to realise the human rights which belong to them.
- Support service providers to understand how to implement the human rights which belong to people affected by substance use.
- Shift the power and change the culture from criminalisation and stigma towards public health and human rights… the so-called “undeserving” coming to see themselves as “rights-holders” and the service providers better understanding what their role may be as “duty bearers”.
