Worldwide outcry, over 534,000 call on UN to end Drug War - National Human Rights | Examiner.com: "A message representing the voice of over 534,00 people wanting an end to the failed 'War on Drugs' and create a decriminalized and regulatory system based on human rights will be hand-delivered to world leaders Thursday, June 2 at a press conference in New York and to the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Friday, June 3. Signatories of the message want the leaders to dismantle criminal empires rather than spend billions of dollars in a war on common people."

The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
