Harm Reduction International submits to the Universal Periodic Review of Indonesia at the Human Rights Council

Harm Reduction International, in partnership with LBH Masyarakat and Asian Harm Reduction Network, submitted a civil society report on Indonesia to the UN Human Rights Council for the Universal Periodic Review.

The report focuses on the death penalty for drug offences, corporal punishment, drug treatment, injecting drug use, HIV/AIDS and the right to health.

The Universal Periodic Review is a peer-review process, under the auspices of the United Nations Human Rights Council, in which countries review one another’s human rights records. Every country gets reviewed once every four years. Civil society is invited to provide submissions of information which are considered during the review. Indonesia's review will take place in early 2012.
