Diese Broschüre bietet einen Einstieg für Men-schen, die sich Gedanken darüber machen wollen, inwiefern ihre Wahrnehmungen und Berichte über den Globalen Süden in rassistische und koloniale Strukturen verwickelt sind. Sie führt in zentrale Themen wie Kolonialismus und Rassi...smus sowie in die Wirkungsmacht von Bildern und Sprache ein. Darüber hinaus werden einige der üblicherweise in Berichten auftauchenden Erzählmuster aufge-zeigt und analysiert. Leitfragen und Anregungen ermöglichen es den Leser_innen, eigene Vorstel-lungen, Sprechweisen und Bilder selbstkritisch unter die Lupe zu nehmen und davon ausgehend alternative Handlungsoptionen zu entwickeln.

A policy brief on the organization of prison health

"Some of the problems with our current drug policies stem from the fact that these policies have been largely bifurcated between two different and often contradictory approaches. One treats drug use as a crime that cannot be tolerated and should be punished; the other views addiction as a chronic re...lapsing health or behavioral condition requiring ongoing treatment and support. Neither of these views is all encompassing—it should be recognized that there are patterns of drug use that do not result in significant harm or health problems and therefore require no intervention. The public health approach presented here takes the view that our focus should be on the harm caused by drug use and the harm caused by our policy responses to it. We have focused specifically on illicit drugs, not because they are by themselves more harmful (in fact, tobacco causes more morbidity and mortality than any illicit drug), but because it has become increasingly clear that our current policies to manage illicit drugs are failing."

From raising awareness to building capacity
Meeting Report
World Health Organization, Geneva, Switzerland 16 -18 September 2013
The potential for terrorist use of chemical agents is a noted concern highlighted by the Tokyo sarin gas attacks of 1995. The events of September 11, 2001, increased congressional attention towards reducing the vulnerability of the United States to such unconventional attacks. The
possibility that... terrorist groups might obtain insecure chemical weapons led to increased scrutiny of declared Libyan chemical weapon stockpiles following the fall of the Qadhafi regime. Experts have expressed similar concerns regarding the security and use of Syrian chemical weapons,
reportedly including stocks of nerve (sarin, VX) and blister (mustard gas) agents.
