Buon venerdì Stupefan! Nuovo venerdì, nuove notizie importanterrime dal mondo delle sostanze proibite. First of all, gli ermellini hanno dilaniato il DL sicurezza. No, non ci siamo presi un colpo di calore, è proprio la suprema Corte di Cassazione (che sono ammantate delle pelli del predetto animale) che ha prodotto una relazione che ha bastonato, benché senza grandi effetti pratici, il "decretino" e ha parlato anche delle evidenti illegittimità che il divieto di vendita delle infiorescenze di canapa nasconde. Non è finita qui però, perché alla fine della scorsa settimana è uscito il World Drug Report 2025 dell'UNODC, i cui numeri e le analisi dei dati urlano forte una cosa sola: il proibizionismo è un fallimento globale. Nel decennio record dei sequestri da parte delle polizie di tutto il globo assistiamo a un incremento del consumo di sostanze che, dal 2013 al 2023, mai visto. I ragionamenti li trovate al play!Note dell'episodio:- La Cassazione bastona il decretino: https://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2025/06/28/cannabis-light-cassazione-divieto-incostituzionalita-news/8041997/- Il World Drug Report 2025: https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/data-and-analysis/world-drug-report-2025.html- Reggio Emilia porta avanti l'Italia di vent'anni: https://www.gazzettadireggio.it/reggio/cronaca/2025/07/01/news/paradise-street-in-zona-stazione-apre-il-centro-per-arginare-la-diffusione-di-crack-1.100729695- Riempite d'amore gli operatori di Reggio: https://www.instagram.com/unitadiprossimitareggioemilia/Entra in contatto con noi usando la mail stupefatticast@gmail.com o seguendo su Instagram il @stupefatti_podcast! Puoi anche iscriverti a STUPEGRAM, il nostro canale telegram, a questo link https://t.me/stupegram!

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayotupeleka nchini Tanzania, ambako mshikamano na wakimbizi unatekelezwa kwa vitendo na mashirika ya Umoja Mataifa likiwemo lile la Chakula na Kilimo (FAO) na la kuhudumia wakimbizi, UNHCR kupitia Programu wa Pamoja ya Kigoma (KJP).Katika siku ya kimataifa ya kupambana na dawa za kulevya na usafirishaji haramu, ripoti mpya ya dunia ya Dawa za Kulevya mwaka 2025 iliyotolewa leo imeonya kuwa kutokuwepo kwa utulivu duniani kunachochea ongezeko la matumizi ya dawa za kulevya na uhalifu wa kupangwa. Kwa mujibu wa Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Dawa na Uhalifu UNODC, watu milioni 316 walitumia mihadarati mwaka 2023. Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa UNODC, Ghada Waly, amesema "Makundi haramu yanatumia migogoro kama fursa tunahitaji ushirikiano na uwekezaji kulinda jamii zetu.”Leo ni kumbukizi ya uzinduzi wa Chata ya Umoja wa Mataifa miaka 80 iliyopita mjini San Francisco, hatua iliyoweka msingi wa kuundwa kwa Umoja wa Mataifa mnamo Oktoba 24, 1945. Katibu Mkuu António Guterres anasema Umoja wa Mataifa bado unaakisi matumaini yaliyozaliwa kutoka kwenye majivu ya vita naye mwanahistoria Stephen Schlesinger akizungumza na UN News ameakumbusha kuwa “Chata hii ilikuwa kilio cha wanadamu wakitafuta amani, suluhu za mazungumzo, na maisha bora duniani.”Asilimia 93 ya kaya Gaza hazina uhakika wa maji safi kutokana na ukosefu wa mafuta unaopelekea mifumo ya maji kukaribia kusambaratika yameonya mashirika ya Kibinadamu ya Umoja wa Mataifa leo yakiongeza kuwa familia zinakumbwa na njaa kali, wakila mlo mmoja kwa siku huku watu wazima wakikosa kula ili kuwasaidia watoto na wazee.Na leo katika kujifunza lugha ya Kiswahili mchambuzi wetu mlumbi wa Kiswahili Joramu Nkumbi kutoka nchini Tanzania, anafafanua maana ya neno "AFRITI KIJITI”Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kayanda, karibu!

En Colombia y el mundo hay una transición hacia energías más limpias, sin embargo, buena parte de las industrias dependen de minerales y otros recursos fósiles. ¿Podemos prescindir de la explotación del carbón y no morir de hambre en el intento?Para este capítulo hablamos con Juan Camilo Nariño, presidente de la Asociación Colombiana de Minería; con Luis Fernando Mejía, director ejecutivo de Fedesarrollo; con Santiago Cardona, vicepresidente de operaciones para Colombia de Mineros; con Olivier Inizan, representante regional de UNODC; y con Moisés Wasserman, exrector de la Universidad Nacional.

You've heard the headlines: “Bitcoin is for criminals.” But is that actually true?In this episode, we dig into the data, scandals, and hypocrisy behind the global money laundering industry. Spoiler: it's not Bitcoin moving $2 trillion a year — it's the traditional banking system.

Last year, both Belgium and the Netherlands, home to the key ports of Antwerp-Bruges and Rotterdam, reported a dramatic decline in the volume of cocaine seized. As the traditional gateways into Europe for legal as well as illegal cargo, this is surely cause for celebration, or at the very least a pat on the back. The only problem? Seizures in Portugal, Italy, Greece and other southern European countries increased. Which begs the question, how on earth do you stop smuggling? Lloyd's List reporter Joshua Minchin again speaks to four experts at the very frontline in the fight against smuggling to understand how public-private cooperation can identify high-risk containers and push back against what can seem like an incessant tide. Plus, UNODC's Bob van den Berghe explains how work in source countries can prevent illegal cargo ever getting on board a commercial vessel and strengthen relationships between law enforcement agencies at opposite sides of an ocean. Joining Joshua on the podcast are: • Joe Kramek, chief executive, World Shipping Council • Bob Van den Berghe, deputy head PCCP, UN Office on Drugs and Crime • Niels Vanlaer, harbour master at the port of Antwerp-Bruges • Robert Campbell, programme director, United for Wildlife

Today's guest is Anne Speckhard, Director of the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism. She previously served for over two decades as Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University School of Medicine. She has interviewed over 800 terrorists, their family members and supporters in various parts of the world including in Western Europe, the Balkans, Central Asia, the Former Soviet Union and the Middle East, and has also been training key stakeholders in law enforcement, intelligence, educators, and other countering violent extremism professionals on the use of counter-narrative messaging materials both locally and internationally. In this episode, Alon and Anne discuss the rise in violent extremism and the causes behind it, the prospects of political violence in the US, the role of social media in promoting violent extremism and terrorism, and how violent extremist movements in the Middle East may evolve in relation to current events. Full bio Anne Speckhard, Ph.D., is Director of the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism (ICSVE) and served for over two decades as Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University School of Medicine and also served as an Affiliate in the Center for Security Studies, Georgetown University. She has interviewed over 800 terrorists, violent extremists, their family members and supporters around the world, including in Western Europe, the Balkans, Central Asia, the Former Soviet Union and the Middle East. Over the past five years, she has conducted in-depth psychological interviews with 275 ISIS defectors, returnees and prisoners, as well as 16 al Shabaab cadres (as well as their family members and leaders,) studying their trajectories into and out of terrorism, and their experiences inside ISIS and al Shabaab. Speckhard developed the ICSVE Breaking the ISIS Brand Counter Narrative Project from these interviews, which includes over 250 short counter narrative videos that mimic ISIS recruitment videos but contain actual terrorists strongly denouncing ISIS as un-Islamic, corrupt and brutal. These videos have been utilized in over 200 Facebook and Instagram campaigns globally. Beginning in 2020, she launched the ICSVE Escape Hate Counter Narrative Project, interviewing 54 white supremacists and members of hate groups, developing counternarratives from their interviews, and creating anti-recruitment videos. She has also conducted rare interviews with five Antifa activists. Dr. Speckhard is also an expert in rehabilitation and repatriation of terrorists and their families. In 2007, she designed the psychological and Islamic aspects of the Detainee Rehabilitation Program in Iraq to be applied to 20,000+ detainees and 800 juveniles. This work led to consulting with foreign governments on issues of terrorist prevention, interventions and repatriation; and the rehabilitation and reintegration of ISIS foreign fighters, wives and children. She has worked individually with former terrorists from Belgium, Australia, Sweden and elsewhere. She has also worked on these issues with NATO, OSCE, UN Women, UNCTED, UNODC, the EU Commission and EU Parliament, and to the US Senate & House, Departments of State, Defense, Justice, Homeland Security, Health & Human Services, and the FBI. Dr. Speckhard actively trains key stakeholders in law enforcement, intelligence, elite hostage negotiation teams, educators, and other professionals in countering violent extremism, locally and internationally. Her focus is on the psychology of terrorism, the effective use of counter-narrative messaging materials produced by ICSVE, as well as studying the use of children as violent actors by groups such as ISIS. Her consultations and trainings include U.S., Australian, Canadian, German, British, Dutch, Austrian, Swiss, Belgian, Danish, Iraqi, Syrian, Jordanian and Thai national police and security officials, among others.

This week, John and Elliot discuss the UNODC's technical policy brief on the expanding activity of Asian crime syndicates, a policy brief on high-level corruption from Project FALCON, a blog post from the FACT Coalition how high gold prices are fueling guerilla warfare in Columbia, the NCA's effort in 2024 to interdict fraud and its focus on online fraud involving AI, and other items impacting the financial crime prevention community.

Tom Uren and Adam Boileau talk about how scam compound criminal syndicates are responding to strong government action by moving operations overseas. It's good they are being affected, but they are shifting into new countries that don't have the ability to counter industrial-scale transnational organised crime. They also discuss CISA's Secure by Design initiative and that key people behind the program have left the organisation. Given prospective job cuts at CISA it is hard to see the initiative getting a lot of love, but international cyber security authorities should pick up the slack.

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Borbala Fellegi, Ph.D., to the Restorative Works! Podcast. In this series of episodes, we explore what it means to “walk through tensions” - how we exist, find, and build community and forge a path forward through times of extreme polarization. Dr. Fellegi joins us to explore the intricate dynamics of polarization in today's world. With decades of experience in conflict resolution across Europe, Dr. Fellegi shares insights on the importance of acknowledging multiple narratives in a conflict and the critical role of compassion in bridging divides. She delves into the challenges of maintaining neutrality in the face of abuse and power imbalances, and the necessity for those in privileged positions to take the first steps toward reconciliation. Listen to gain a deeper understanding of how restorative practices can help build relationships and communities in even the most polarized environments. Dr. Fellegi reflects on the human need for compassion and active listening to offer a hopeful path forward in a world increasingly divided by ideology and power.  Dr. Fellegi is a researcher, mediator, conference and peace-making circle facilitator, trainer and lecturer. In 2008 she became founder and executive director of the Foresee Research Group.

Tune in to dig deeper in a conversation that challenges us to look beyond our own stories and embrace the complexity of others. Walking Through Tensions is a special series of the Restorative Works! Podcast. Through this series, we aim to generate reflection, hope, and wisdom about how to strengthen relationships and community in situations of unrest, dissent, polarization, and concern. Its title, far from literal, represents a metaphor that poses a question: how can we exist and collaborate while surrounded by complex and tense environments? Our guests are doing impactful work in these areas: please be mindful that they may mention specific sensitive topics of situations taking place around the world. Their positioning may or may not be aligned or reflective of the IIRP's. We invite you to listen and to reflect with us while also taking care of your mental and emotional wellbeing. We hope to guide you in finding the learning tools that will help you and your community to walk through tensions in the best way possible.

A jail which has newly opened in the city of Marawi on the Filipino island of Mindanao “symbolizes change” in the Philippines penal system, according to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).The Marawi City Jail, which was built by the Bureau of Jail management and Penology (BJMP) and inaugurated in May 2024, has been established according to the Nelson Mandela Rules.The Rules define what are generally accepted as being good principles and practice in the treatment of prisoners and prison management in detention facilities across the world.The Philippines currently has some of the most overcrowded jails in the world.Daniel Dickinson spoke to Renato Reynaldo Roales, a National Programme Officer at UNODC based in Mindanao, and began by asking him to describe the facility.

In this interview at SINCON 2024, Dr. Joshua James, a Regional Counter Cyber Crime Coordinator for the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), shared his insights on the Regional Counter-cybercrime programme at UNODC.Dr. James argued that while law enforcement agencies are getting better at responding to cybercrime, the cyber criminals are also getting better at what they do. This is because cybercrime is a business for them, and they invest heavily in security measures to protect their operations.He believes that the key to defeating cybercrime is for governments to see their citizens as assets rather than liabilities. If people are viewed as assets, then more will be invested in educating them and giving them the tools they need to protect themselves online.He also said that international cooperation is essential in the fight against cybercrime. The current system for international cooperation, called mutual legal assistance, was created before the internet and is not effective for cybercrime. New tools and methods for international cooperation are needed.In conclusion, Dr. James said that he is confident that cybercrime can be defeated, but it will take a lot of work from governments and citizens alike.Recorded 23rd May 2024, 10.30am, SINCON 2024, Singapore.Dr. Joshua James is the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Regional Counter-Cybercrime for Southeast Asia and the Pacific, based in Bangkok, Thailand.

He has worked as a seconded researcher with the Irish Police Computer Crimes Investigation Unit, INTERPOL's Financial and High-Tech Crime Unit, and the Korean National Police.

Southeast Asia has become the “ground zero” for the multi-billion-dollar global internet scamming industry according to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).Transnational criminal groups working across the region are targeting victims around the world from so-called scam farms which are operating clandestinely - often alongside legal businesses.Many of the workers are coerced into scamming activities against their will and can be tortured if they do not meet targets for stealing money from victims.Benedikt Hofmann, the UNODC Deputy Regional Representative for Southeast Asia and the Pacific, visited a scam farm in the Philippines that was raided in March this year.  Daniel Dickinson caught up with him there and began by asking him to describe what he saw.

The Haitian economy may be on its knees, but the gangs that control much of the capital Port-au-Prince seem to have little trouble obtaining guns, mainly from the USA.The country is awash with weapons: according to experts convened by the UN Secretary-General, these “deadly arsenals” mean that gangs have “firepower that exceeds that of the Haitian national police,” and the problem is getting worse.The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), has reported an increase in the trafficking of increasingly powerful and sophisticated weapons into the country since 2021, such as AK47, AR15 and Galil rifles. Sylvie Bertrand is the UNODC Regional Representative for Central America and the Caribbean and oversees the research teams tasked with documenting the sources, routes and distribution patterns of the illicit firearms fuelling violence in Haiti.She spoke to Felipe de Carvalho from UN News about UNODC strategies to make a significant dent in the flow of arms to the beleaguered country.

When most people think about organised crime, their minds will instantly turn towards mafia style organisations; and these days no-where do mafias hold more of a reputation than in Latin America. According to the UNCAC Coalition (a global network of over 350 civil society organizations (CSOs) in over 100 countries, committed to promoting the ratification, implementation and monitoring of the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC)) Latin America is considered the most violent region on the planet, and according to the latest UNODC report, organised crime is responsible for 30% of homicides in LA. The Global Corruption Barometer 2013 indicates that the police and judiciary are considered amongst the most corrupt institutions in the region. In some Central American nations, the costs of crime are twice the regional average, while in others (such as the “Southern Cone” of Uruguay, Argentina and Chile) these costs are less than half the regional average. The total regional cost reaches US $236 billion per year. The risks associated with criminal groups of this status are vast for both Latin America, and the rest of the world, making discussions about this facet of organised crime that much more important. So, to discuss the international risks of Latin American organised crime with us today, it is a pleasure to welcome Damian Gariglio onto the podcast.  Damián Gariglio is a political scientist and researcher from Buenos Aires. He majored in International Relations and holds a Master's Degree in International Studies from Torcuato Di Tella University - during which he spent six months in Colombia on a student exchange program. He is a member of the network of experts of the Global Initiative against Transnational Organised Crime. He has experience conducting research in Colombia and in Argentina working for different international NGOs and the public sector. He has worked in Bogota for the Colombian campaign to ban landmines as a humanitarian disarmament adviser. He was also the coordinator of the Observatory of Defence and Security for the Centre for International Political Studies (CEPI). In the research arena, Damián is currently working as an Assistant Researcher for the University of Buenos Aires focused on new criminal structures in Latin America.

A 25 year old Alabama nursing student disappeared after calling 911 and claiming she was stopping to help a toddler in diapers who was walking alone on Interstate 459.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Carlee Russel returned home two days later and claimed she had been kidnapped and had barely managed to escape. She said the toddler was used as bait. If you like our content, please become a patron to get all our episodes ad-free. Carlee described how a man with “orange hair” emerged from the woods and picked her up and forced her into a vehicle. No, it wasn't Donald Trump. 1 She said the man then put her into the trailer of a tractor and drove her to an unknown location where he forced her to undress and took photos of her. Carlee also mentioned that the man had a female accomplice who fed her cheese crackers. 2 Police soon realized her story didn't add up. Carlee admitted she faked her own abduction. Her motives are unclear, but we suspect she was “inspired” by the kidnapping social media craze, a new “Satanic Panic” type of phenomenon which has been spreading like wildfire online, especially on Tik Tok. 3 This new trend, started by right-wing evangelicals, aims to terrify women, and convince them they can be abducted at any moment and sex trafficked. The scope is to distract from real social issues like overturning Roe v Wade, the gun violence epidemic, voting rights etc. Statistically, a woman in the US is more likely to get hit by lightning than get kidnapped and sex trafficked. 1.

UNODC UNODC report on human trafficking exposes modern form of slavery UNODC, February 2009 ⇤

“Commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) includes child prostitution (or child sex trafficking), child sex tourism, child pornography, or other forms of transactional sex with children. The Youth Advocate Program International (YAPI) describes CSEC as a form of coercion and violence against children and a contemporary form of slavery.[12][13] A declaration of the World Congress Against the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children, held in Stockholm in 1996, defined CSEC as, "sexual abuse by the adult and remuneration in cash or in kind to the child or to a third person or persons. The child is treated as a sexual object and as a commercial object".[13] “Commercial sexual exploitation of adults (often referred to as "sex trafficking")[10] is a type of human trafficking involving the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of people, by coercive or abusive means for the purpose of sexual exploitation. Commercial sexual exploitation is not the only form of human trafficking and estimates vary as to the percentage of human trafficking which is for the purpose of transporting someone into sexual slavery. The BBC News cited a report by UNODC as listing the most common destinations for victims of human trafficking in 2007 as Thailand, Japan, Israel, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Turkey and the United States. The report lists Thailand, China, Nigeria, Albania, Bulgaria, Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine as major sources of trafficked persons.[11]” “Forced prostitution, also known as involuntary prostitution or compulsory prostitution, is prostitution or sexual slavery that takes place as a result of coercion by a third party. The terms "forced prostitution" or "enforced prostitution" appear in international and humanitarian conventions, such as the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, but have been inconsistently applied. "Forced prostitution" refers to conditions of control over a person who is coerced by another to engage in sexual activity.[1][2]” -Wikipedia --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
