Drugs are an issue which – like migration, social liberalization and economic tensions – has the capacity to shatter democratic and human rights norms. Perhaps no other extreme found in drug policies today does so more than that of extrajudicial killings. “Murder on the Land and the Sea” will discuss identified episodes of drug war EJKs in the 21st century, their context and interrelationships, and their implications for the future of democracy and the rules-based order.
