• Provide an overview of the international drug treaties and the UN drug control system;
• Discuss progress made by civil society in recent years at the UN;
• Consider ways in which the reform com­munity can maximize its influence on drug policy and engage with their own government officials and the UN in preparation for the UNGASS.

Facilitators:

• Allan Clear – Harm Reduction Coalition
• Heather Haase – Harm Reduction Coalition / IDPC
• Ann Fordham – IDPC

The event will be held at Governor’s Square 16, Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel, 1550 Court Place, Denver.
