Deadline- March 5, 2013
Applicants are invited for The Asian Human Rights and Drug Policy Program in India organized by The Open Society Foundation. This programme will held on April 19 to 29, 2013 in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. The purpose of this programme is to focus on identification and understanding of human rights including those that have their basis in international agreements and laws, and in part on evaluation and assessment of the gap between rights and practice in the implementation of drug policies in many countries and regions.
The course also aims to situate drug policies globally within a framework of fundamental human rights, and to assess the extent to which country and international drug policies fail to meet human rights standards.
All those attending the course will be provided by JNU with a Certificate of Attendance. Opportunities will also be provided during the course for personal discussions with Faculty. It is intended that further work after the conclusion of the course be encouraged both in respect of research and programme analysis and development. Course faculty will be prepared to provide follow up assistance through personal agreement with students.
Eligibility & Criteria-
- Applications are invited from high-achieving MA and PhD students, junior faculty, research staff in universities and other institutions and professionals from the field of Public Health. (Undergraduates without a university degree will not be considered.)
- No prior knowledge of Human Rights and Drug Policy is required of participants.
- A key objective of the course is to emphasize the interdisciplinary learning and of problem solving. It is thus an important objective that non-standard disciplines are represented, and that new skills and capacities are applied to this area of public policy.
