Title Public health or human rights: what comes first? Type Journal Article
Year 2004 Publication International journal of drug policy Abbreviated Journal
Volume 15 Issue (down) 4; 09/2004 Pages 231-237
Keywords human rights; public health; AOD use; harm reduction
Abstract Respect for human rights is a defining feature of harm reduction, which is commonly characterised as a public health-based movement. The importance it attaches to ‘user-friendliness’ and the view that drug users have a right to the same respect and dignity that other users of health and social care services receive is largely undisputed among harm reductionists. Within harm reduction there is also a developing discourse identifying drug use itself as a human right; nudging harm reduction towards being a rights based movement. This allows us to describe two philosophies of harm reduction: a ‘weak rights’ version, in which people are entitled to good treatment and a ‘strong rights’ version that additionally recognises a basic right to use drugs. Prioritising human rights or public health can lead to different concepts of harm reduction and different forms of ‘right action’. Privileging health may even, in some circumstances, be consistent with prohibitionary policies if these reduce harm. By contrast, the strong rights version of harm reduction subordinates public health considerations to the right to use drugs and implies support for policies that may sometimes increase harm. In the UK, the publication of ‘The Angel Declaration’, which recognises a right to use drugs and proposes a skeletal regulatory framework for a post-prohibition era, adds to the impetus for harm reductionists to clarify whether they fully embrace a right to use drugs within their understanding of harm reduction. This paper elaborates these issues in the context of the constraints upon the development of an evidence-based approach to controlling drug use that arise from the UN Conventions of 1961, 1971 and 1988.

Title Public opinion about syringe exchange programmes in the USA: an analysis of national surveys Type Journal Article
Year 2004 Publication International journal of drug policy Abbreviated Journal
Volume 15 Issue (down) 4; 09/2004 Pages 225-230
Keywords drug market; illicit drug; legal regulation; drug legalization; drug decriminalization; public health; AOD public policy strategy; policy recommendations
Abstract This commentary explores the concept of a regulated market for currently illegal drugs. It details a variety of specific public health tools which could be used in a regulatory regimen to control access to these substances. The distinction between administrative and social controlling mechanisms is discussed. The author concludes that a regulated market for drugs founded on inclusive public health and moral principles is a rational approach to the pervasive global concern of illegal drugs in our society.

Title Global prohibition regimes : the evolution of norms in international society Type Journal Article
Year 1990 Publication International organization Abbreviated Journal
Volume 44 Issue (down) 4; 09/1990 Pages 479-526
Keywords miscellaneous; crime; crime prevention; law; criminal penalty; policy recommendations
Abstract The dynamics by which norms emerge and spread in international society have been the subject of strikingly little study. This article focuses on norms that prohibit, both in international law and in the domestic criminal laws of states, the involvement of state and nonstate actors in activities such as piracy, slavery, counterfeiting, drug trafficking, the hijacking of aircraft, and the killing of endangered animal species. It analyzes the manner in which these norms have evolved into and been institutionalized by global prohibition regimes and argues that there are two principal inducements to the formation and promotion of such regimes. The first is the inadequacy of unilateral and bilateral law enforcement measures in the face of criminal activities that transcend national borders. The second is the role of moral and emotional factors related to neither political nor economic advantage but instead involving religious beliefs, humanitarian sentiments, fears, prejudices, paternalism, faith in universalism, the individual conscience, and the compulsion to proselytize. The ultimate success or failure of an international regime in effectively suppressing a particular activity depends, however, not only on the degree of commitment to its norms or the extent of resources devoted to carrying out its goals but also on the vulnerability of the activity to its enforcement measures.

Title Verhaltensänderung durch Selbsthilfemanuale Type Journal Article

Volume 39 Issue (down) 4; 08/2013 Pages 45-47
Keywords alcohol dependence; addiction care; self-help group; addiction mutual help and support group; AODD recovery; training manual; treatment outcome
Abstract Die Palette der Wege ein Suchtproblem zu überwinden, ist inzwischen vielfältig und besteht keineswegs nur oder vorrangig aus dem oft beschworenen «Königsweg» Motivations-, Entgiftungs-, Entwöhnungs- und Nachsorgephase. Eine vielversprechende Option ist das autodidaktische Bearbeiten verhaltenstherapeutisch ausgerichteter Selbsthilfemanuale, die Konsumveränderungen Schritt für Schritt und systematisch anleiten. Die empirischen Evidenzen sprechen für ihre Wirksamkeit und einen breiten Einsatznutzen.

Title Gesellschaftliche Schnittstellen zur Stützung von Selbsthilfe Type Journal Article
Year 2013 Publication SuchtMagazin Abbreviated Journal
Volume 39 Issue (down) 4; 08/2013 Pages 30-32
Keywords addiction care; self-help group; addiction mutual help and support group; community; government and politics; public policy on AOD; treatment outcome
Abstract Das Konzept der «gestützten Selbstheilung» macht das Wechselspiel zwischen individuellem Bewältigungsverhalten und dessen Beeinflussung durch Gruppenprozesse, Angebote im Gemeindekontext und suchtpolitische Kampagnen deutlich. Konkret wirken sich die Verfügbarkeit neuer Medien, Differenzierungen im Selbsthilfegruppenangebot und eine am Public Health Model orientierte Suchtpolitik auf die Modalitäten und Erfolgschancen von Selbsthilfe aus.
