The New York NGO Committee on Drugs (NYNGOC) is hosting an online event to reflect on the past and congratulate its new Chair and Executive Committee members.
The webinar will shed light on the key controversies that are likely to structure the debates, discuss tabled resolutions and opportunities for engagement, and showcase the experience of IDPC network members in navigating and leveraging this forum for political advocacy.
A side event at the Commission on Narcotic Drugs brought together experts to discuss how drug policy outcomes are measured, with the Sustainable Development Goals discussed as a potential mechanism of evaluation.
Although there was a great deal of variety in the topics covered by breakout sessions and keynote speakers, a significant portion understandably focused on the rising United States cannabis industry.
An event at UN headquarters in New York discussed precisely what preparations are necessary to make sure the UNGASS provides states with the opportunity to openly debate the future of international drug policies.
The intention of the event was to foster open dialogue and debate about the links between drug policy and development, particularly in preparation for joint advocacy at the 2016 UNGASS.
