Next month, the "World Social Thematic Forum" will meet in Colombia, addressing the issues of democracy, human rights, war and drug trafficking. The speaker lineup includes a number of the people who participated in DRCNet's "Out from the Shadows" conference in Mérida, Mexico last February, including Week Online writer/editor Phil Smith.

Visit http://www.fsmt.org.co/eng-narcotrafico.htm for information on the drug policy section in English, or e-mail María Mercedes Moreno of the organization "Mama Coca" at [email protected]. Future issues of The Week Online will cover this event in more detail.
