Publicación Instituciones y Narcotráfico: la geografía judicial de los delitos de drogas en ColombiaMauricio García Villegas; José Rafael Espinosa Restrepo; Felipe Jiménez ÁngelEste texto muestra cómo, además de la desproporción normativa que tiene la penalización de las drogas en Colombia – que otras investigaciones de Dejusticia ya han hecho evidente -, la manera como el Estado aplica y hace efectivas esas normas es discriminatoria. A una desproporción normativa se suma, entonces, una discriminación fáctica. Y peor aún, esta discriminación es doble: por un lado, dicha aplicación es selectiva en el territorio, pues tiende a concentrar su eficacia en algunos territorios, pues tiende a concentrar su eficacia en algunos territorios y no otros y, por el otro, es selectiva en los delitos, pues se concentra en la sanción de unos delitos y no de otros. A partir de este diagnóstico el documento formula algunas recomendaciones generales de política pública, tanto estructurales al sistema de justicia como específicas al problema del narcotráfico en el país.Publicación Argumentos y vías para la ratificación de la Convención Interamericana sobre Personas MayoresIsabel Pereira-Arana; Julián Salamanca LatorreEl 15 de junio de 2015 la Asamblea General de la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA) adoptó el texto de la Convención Interamericana sobre la Protección de los Derechos Humanos de las Personas Mayores (en adelante, Convención sobre Personas Mayores).La Convención, única en su tipo, parte del respeto que se le debe a los derechos humanos y la necesidad de su promoción y protección a partir de lo establecido en la Declaración Americana de Derechos y Deberes del Hombre y en la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos, entre otros instrumentos. Parte del principio de que la búsqueda del ideal de un ser humano libre, exento de temor y miseria solo puede mantenerse en tanto se garanticen condiciones de vida que le permitan a cada persona disfrutar de sus derechos sin discriminación alguna, en particular por motivos de edad.Publicación Resumen del Informe regional CEDDAlejandro Corda; Ernesto Cortés Amador; Diego Piñol ArriagadaEsta investigación analiza la forma en que las leyes punitivas de drogas afectan de manera desproporcionada a los usuarios, cultivadores y pequeños vendedores de cannabis. Este documento se basa en el informe, Cannabis en Latinoamérica: la ola verde y los retos hacia la regulación.Publicación Fiscal Policy in the Regulation of Adult-Use Cannabis in ColombiaAlejandro Rodríguez Llach; Luis Felipe Cruz-Olivera; Isabel Pereira-AranaThe debate about regulating cannabis for adult use is on the public agenda. In our view, the best policy on marijuana that a State can develop is the regulation of its cultivation, manufacture and use, focused on reducing marijuana’s comparative impact in illegal economies and drug trafficking networks; protecting public health; promoting rural development in prioritized areas; and promoting reparation measures financed with the resources arising from regulation. Drugs are not the devil, but nor are they child’s play. A drug policy that would be respectful of human rights and safeguard public health must lie at an intermediate point between full liberalization and the prohibition currently in place. In this document, based on a comparative analysis of the regulations issued in Uruguay, Canada and the United States and by applying the Principles and Guidelines for Human Rights in Fiscal Policy, we argue for the importance of a fiscal framework based on collecting taxes in the cannabis market and focused on mobilizing the maximum amount of available resources to finance the goals of reducing the illegal market, preserving public health and assisting the populations affected by drug policy, as set forth in the cannabis regulations.Publicación Materiales de investigación. El daño que nos hacen: glifosato y guerra en CaquetáLuis Felipe Cruz-Olivera; Ana María Malagón Pérez; Camilo Castiblanco SabogalEste documento contiene los anexos al informe El daño que nos hacen: glifosato y guerra en Caquetá, preparado por Dejusticia en asocio con Federación Nacional Sindical Unitaria Agropecuaria (Fensuagro) para la Comisión para el Esclarecimiento de la Verdad, la Convivencia y la No Repetición (CEV).Publicación Summary of the CEDD regional reportAlejandro Corda; Ernesto Cortés Amador; Diego Piñol ArriagadaThis research analyzes how punitive drug laws disproportionately affect cannabis users, growers and small-scale sellers. This paper is based on the report, Cannabis in Latin America: The Green Wave and the Challenges to Regulation.Publicación A balancing act. Drug policy in Colombia after UNGASS 2016Isabel Pereira-Arana; Luis Felipe Cruz-OliveraThis document is the result of a project developed by Dejusticia in cooperation with the Ministry of Justice and Law of Colombia and the British Embassy in Colombia, with funds from the United Kingdom through its embassy in Colombia. During 2016, two historic events were held to reflect about drug strategies in Colombia: the United Nations Special Session on the World Drug Problem (UNGASS 2016) and the signing of the Peace Agreement between the Government and the FARC-EP, which includes the agreement on the “Solution to the problem of illicit drugs”. In light of the commitments made by the Colombian State, there are challenges and possibilities for drug policy reform, particularly when hoping to achieve a better balance between a criminalization perspective and the recognition and guarantee of rights to populations affected by prohibition’s harmful effects. This balancing exercise calls for incorporating the lens of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and its Objectives, as well as for integrating the sectors of defense, rural and agrarian development, protection and sustainable use of environmental resources, health and education, together with the efforts of peacebuilding in the territories most affected by war and drug trafficking. To achieve the goals proposed in these documents, the role of the international community in the coming years will be fundamental. The United Kingdom Embassy, concerned to broaden its horizons of cooperation, offers to share lessons learned and experiences hoping to improve institutional capacities to meet the challenges of organized crime, rural development, and the prevention and treatment of drug use. Thus, this document presents recommendations for cooperation between these two governments in the light of agreed obligations as well as opportunities to harmonize drug policy and peacebuilding.Publicación Voices from the Coca Fields: Women Building Rural CommunitiesAna Jimena Bautista Revelo; Blanca Capacho Niño; Luis Felipe Cruz-Olivera; Margarita Martínez Osorio; Isabel Pereira-Arana; Lucía Ramírez BolívarColombia’s response to the country’s drug problem has been based on the repression of the weakest links in the drug chain—namely consumers and small farmers—which has led to disproportionate rates of imprisonment and has involved a heavy focus on forced crop eradication. Not only has such an approach failed to effectively control the cocaine market, but it has also unleashed harmful side effects in terms of security, social development, and human rights as they concern communities in coca-growing areas. Moreover, although scholars and practitioners have analyzed Colombia’s drug problem from a variety of perspectives, these efforts have tended to overlook women’s experiences. This report explores the ways that rural norms, gender structures, the armed conflict, and illegal markets have played out in the lives of women coca growers in Colombia’s Andes-Amazon region, an area distinguished by the presence of illegal armed groups, violence, poverty, and weak state institutions. In this region of Colombia, coca cultivation has offered an important source of income for rural families, which in turn has affected women’s roles in society and has placed them in a vulnerable position vis- à-vis armed actors. The Andes-Amazon region is an area where the country’s war on drugs and its armed conflict converged and unmasked the gender structures dominating the countryside. These structures affected rural women in various ways: through everyday violence, the fumigation of illicit and licit crops alike, and women’s stigmatization due to their involvement in an illegal trade. But coca was also a source of livelihood that helped them attain economic independence and gave them the ability to improve their well-being and that of their families. The recent peace accord signed between the Colombian government and the country’s main guerrilla group represents a historic opportunity to learn from past mistakes in terms of the illicit crop problem and the social and political demands of coca-growing communities. Against this backdrop, it is time to recognize the contributions that women coca growers have made in both the public and the private spheres toward the construction of a peaceful countryside in the most remote and forgotten regions of the country.Publicación The Inter-American System as a Tool for Ensuring Access to Pain Relief and Palliative CareDiana Guarnizo PeraltaThrough the financial support from the Open Society Foundations, Dejusticia developed a diagnostic research from eight countries, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama and Uruguay, regarding the access to palliative care, the institutional development and the guidelines, and the existing barriers of access to opioid medications – used for pain relief. This document is aimed at medical personnel, civil society organizations, policy makers, and any¬one interested in addressing the issue of palliative care from a human rights perspective. Although for years palliative care was confined to a strictly medical analysis, in recent times the international community and United Nations bodies have recognized palliative care as a human rights issue. This document seeks to demonstrate the many linkages between palliative care and human rights in terms of both the conception and the protection of palliative care. We hope this report serves as a useful tool for the medical community, patients, and patients’ fam¬ilies throughout the American continent who seek legal and human rights arguments to facilitate access to more humane end-of-life care, as well as for litigants and human rights activists who wish to protect and guarantee a life without pain for patients, including during their last days of life.Publicación Informe a la Oficina del Alto Comisionado de los Derechos Humanos. Impactos de la política de drogas a los DDHH en Colombia y visión para el futuroPaula Aguirre Ospina; Adriana Muro Polo; Luis Felipe Cruz-Olivera; Isabel Pereira-AranaDesde Elementa y Dejusticia celebramos la oportunidad de presentar insumos a la Oficina del Alto Comisionado para los Derechos Humanos y consideramos que es fundamental que se prioricen cinco temas de importancia para la garantía de derechos. El contexto actual presenta oportunidades de avanzar hacia una política de drogas con enfoque de derechos y justicia social que le apueste a un cambio de estrategias, consolidando una aproximación que permita diagnosticar los daños causados por la política prohibicionista e identificar a las poblaciones directamente afectadas por su implementación para poder repararlas, como lo recomendó la Comisión para el Esclarecimiento de la Verdad, la Convivencia y la No Repetición (CEV).
