USA. DEA Announces Proposed Rules for Permanent Telemedicine Flexibilities
DEA extends many telemedicine flexibilities adopted during the COVID-19 PHE with appropriate safeguards
WASHINGTON - Today, the Drug Enforcement Administration announced proposed permanent rules for the prescribing of controlled medications via telemedicine, expanding patient access to critical therapies beyond the scheduled end of the COVID-19 public health emergency. The public will be able to comment for 30 days on the proposed rules.
The proposed rules – developed with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and in close coordination with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs – propose to extend many of the flexibilities adopted during the public health emergency with appropriate safeguards.

Amnesty International. “There is no help for our community”: The impact of States’ Covid-19 responses on groups affected by unjust criminalization: Report
This report documents the disproportionate impact of Covid-19 pandemic measures on marginalized and criminalized communities. State responses to Covid-19 have magnified the inequalities faced by groups and communities that were already targeted or otherwise impacted by unjust and discriminatory criminal laws, including LGBTI people, sex workers, people who use drugs, people in need of abortion, homeless people and people living in poverty. Putting human rights at the heart of government efforts to address public health emergency responses is not an optional consideration, it is an obligation.

WTO schafft Durchbruch bei Patenten, trotzdem Kritik
Genf – Die 164 Mitglieder der Welthandelsorganisation (WTO) haben sich nach langem Ringen in Genf unter anderem auf eine befristete Aufhebung von Patenten für Coronaimpfstoffe verständigt, um die Produktion in Entwicklungsländern auszuweiten.

Hilfsorganisationen: Freigabe von Coronapatenten hätte Leben gerettet
Berlin – Wegen fehlender Patentfreigaben von Coronaimpfstoffen und -medikamenten üben die Hilfsorganisation Oxfam und weitere Organisationen Kritik an der Welthandelsorganisation (WTO).
Seitdem die WTO vor 20 Monaten mit den Verhandlungen über die Freigabe entsprechender Patentrechte begonnen habe, seien weltweit 17,5 Millionen Menschen im Zusammenhang mit COVID-19 gestorben, so die Kritik. Dies entspreche 30.000 Toten pro Tag. (aerzteblatt.de, 11.06.2022)

Lessons from countries and humanitarian aid organizations in facilitating the Timely Supply of Controlled Substances during Emergency Situations
Over the past year with the global Covid situation, countries and humanitarian aid organizations were faced with considerable challenges in the timely supply of, and access to, controlled substances to emergency sites. In response to these supply problems in emergency situations, WHO already in 1996 had developed the Model Guidelines for the International Provision of Controlled Medicines for Emergency Medical Care (WHO Model Guidelines). The International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), in line with its mandate under the international drug control conventions on the availability of controlled medicines, convened a meeting on 18 and 19 March 2021 to discuss and analyse the supply problems and identify best practices on how countries and the global community can facilitate the availability of controlled medicines during emergency situations by using these Model Guidelines. The meeting brought together the competent authorities of twenty-two countries and representativesfrom WHO, UNICEF, UNODC, ICRC and MSF with direct experience and involvement in these supply policies.
