In October 2007, IHRA’s HR2 (harm reduction and human rights) team and the Swedish Drug Users Union (SDUU) made a joint submission to the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in order to feed into their review of Sweden’s compliance with human rights obligations. The Submission – or ‘Shadow Report’ – argues that, in its failure to provide comprehensive harm reduction measures such as needle and syringe exchange programmes, the Swedish Government is violating the right to health of people who use drugs, placing them at unnecessary and avoidable risk of HIV and HCV infection.
