Swiss Health Care Costs

Drug policies are oftentimes categorized in terms of public health and safety: governments forbid the voluntary use of sure substances because such use undermines the good of society as a whole. This book aims to position drug policies in another context - the context of humane rights. Articles will thoroughly examine the rights of drug users, with particular attention to the right to adequate medical care, which is oftentimes refused to intravenous drug users who are suffering from HIV/AIDS. included will be articles that express a contrary position: that intravenous drug users have voluntarily relinquished their rights by engaging in criminal behavior. Particularly arguable are the rights of drug-using mothers whose children are occasionally put into state custody. The book will also thoroughly and closely question or examine the conflict amidst criminal codes and the humane right of person freedom, emphasizing the humane rights abuses that ofttimes accompany drug policy enforcement. The texts of basic treaties and accords on humane rights will be included.
