This week on Century of Lies: Rule of Law in the Balance. Since late during the Duterte presidency and continuing under President Ferdinand Marcos Junior, extrajudicial drug war killings in the Philippines have continued at the rate of about one per day. Arrest warrants in the International Criminal Court\'s Philippines investigation are believed to be imminent yet the questions remain: will the perpetrators of these murders and other abuses in the Philippine so-called drug war be held accountable, and if not, what does that mean for the Philippines and for the world? To find answers to these questions, the organization DRCNet/StopTheDrugWar.org held a side event entitled \"After a Drug War: Rule of Law in the Balance\" during the recent Thirty-Third Session of the UN\'s Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice. We hear from David Borden, Executive Director of DRCNet/StopTheDrugWar.org; Marco Perduca, a former Italian senator and one of the founders of the organization Science For Democracy; Dr. Aurora Parong, a physician, human rights defender, and Co-Chair of the Philippine Coalition for the International Criminal Court; and Nicolo Figa-Talamanca, Secretary General of the NGO No Peace Without Justice.

We have two guests today. First is Paul Armentano the Deputy DIrector of the National Organizagtion for the Reform of Marijuaja Laws. Second guest is will Foster, bust back when in Oklahoma sentence to 93 years in prison and is now the largest provider of cannabis clones in the state.

This week on Century of Lies: We Fight, We Hide, We Unite. The Eurasian Harm Reduction Association recently hosted a discussion entitled Tenacity in the shrinking civic spaces: challenges and response of the organizations and activists working on drug policy and health in Central and Eastern Europe and in Central Asia, which examined prevalent legal strategies and frameworks utilized by authoritarian regimes to impede civil society\'s role in public health improvement, protection of human rights, and the delivery of life-saving harm reduction services. The discussion also showcased the resilience and tenacity exercised by civil society organizations in protecting and maintaining health and human rights services. It was an important discussion and there were a lot of lessons for human rights activists, harm reduction advocates, and drug policy reformers everywhere, including in the United States. We hear from Daniel Joloy with Amnesty International; Mikhail Golichenko, an attorney with the HIV Legal Network in Toronto, Canada; and Peter Sarosi with Rights Reporter Foundation and DrugReporter.
