NGO在联合国高级别会议上的成绩
亲爱的朋友们和同事们：
维也纳联合国毒品问题高级别会议已经过去将近三周了，这给了我们思考的时间。众所周知，这次会议带来的《政治宣言》，令积极倡导纳入减低危害原则的各国政府、国际机构和NGO失望。
然而，较强烈地提及人权问题和减低危害战略在协商中获得的支持都是积极的结果，这部分是由于NGO的努力。由德国领导的26个国家的分裂派联盟对针具交换和替代治疗表达了支持，这是缺乏"维也纳共识"的重要证据。今年早些时候，美国还通过宣布接受针具交换的科学证据传递了重要的信号。
尽管联合国毒品与犯罪问题办公室（UNODC）在政策制订上持非宗教态度，但NGO也设法通过强有力的倡导和研究在协商过程中做出了显著贡献，尤其是安第斯大学（University of the Andes）的一个小组对"哥伦比亚计划"（Plan Colombia）的经济评估和拉丁美洲委员会（Latin American Commissions）的报告《毒品与民主：面对范式转变》（Drugs and Democracy: Towards a Paradigm Shift），这两份研究在全球毒品政策项目（GDPp）网站上都能看到。
在自己的会议上，NGO积极组织附属会议，并且与正在越来越多地征求公民社会对毒品政策问题的意见的各国代表团合作。若干NGO代表参加了国家代表团。欧亚减低危害网络（Eurasian Harm Reduction Network）的成员帮助格鲁吉亚和吉尔吉斯斯坦准备了出色的发言。巴西组织Psicotropicus的代表在麻醉药品委员会（CND）上做了发言，减低危害联盟（Harm Reduction Coalition）让若干美国组织参加了会议。NGO在美国使团中聚会了两次，并且报告说讨论相当友好。
NGO在自己的活动中举行了新闻发布会，并且在会议准备期间为确保新闻报导而努力工作，国际毒品政策联合会（International Drug Policy Consortium）现在正在就超过300篇关于高级别会议的文章整理一个令人印象深刻摘要。许多工作是钻研有影响力的刊物上鼓舞人心的文章，如《经济学人》上发表的关于毒品政策的专题。
"停止全球禁毒战争！"是匈牙利公民自由联盟（Hungarian Civil Liberties Union）在联合国会议外的行动，他们让著名的倡导者站在笼子里展示吸毒者受到的虐待——www.drogriporter.hu/en——而且有效地吸引了媒体的注意。青年复兴（Youth RISE）、INPUD等组织也参加了他们的行动。匈牙利公民自由联盟还在全维也纳展示了他们的海报与电影比赛的海报，并且制作了现场电影。
跨国研究所（Transnational Institute）的毒品与民主项目开设了一个博客www.cndblog.org，该博客一直在更新，从超过150个人那里收到帖子，在10天中吸引了将近2，000名访问者。国际减低危害联合会（International Harm Reduction Association）还用其博客www.ihrablog.net使人们跟上最新的活动。在此活动之后，国际毒品政策联合会在www.idpc.info上发表了联合国毒品与犯罪问题办公室执行主任安东尼奥·科斯塔(Antonio Costa)的讲话的精确分析。该联合会还在会议之前制作了一系列倡导材料，并且在协调倡导工作中扮演了重要角色。
"解放"组织（Release）开办了"谈论毒品"(TalkingDrugs)的大门——www.talkingdrugs.org——这意味着倡导活动现在有了一个中心，通过鼓励人们上传自己的资料和贡献自己的观点，讨论从毒品政策组织的小圈子中扩大到了把街头流浪汉包括在内。国际减低危害发展项目（International Harm Reduction Development program）最近出版了一本出色的书，题目叫做《代价是什么？》（At What Cost?）——www.soros.org/initiatives/health。
总之，有明确的迹象显示NGO正在围绕问题集合起来，开始有效沟通和合作，这要感谢地区和国际毒品政策组织。我们必须持续努力，以确保目前的国际毒品政策的消极后果留在公众视线中，并且在国家一级得到反应。毕竟，这就是苛刻和通常是不人道的毒品政策的影响结束的地方。NGO已经为倡导基于人权和公共健康的毒品政策做出了数量惊人的工作，但要在今后十年中改变毒品政策的结构，我们面前还有许多工作要做。

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Nearly three weeks have passed since the UN High Level Meeting on drugs in Vienna, giving us time to reflect. As everyone knows, this meeting resulted in a Political Declaration which was disappointing for governments, international agencies, and NGOs who had energetically advocated for the inclusion of harm reduction principles.
However, the stronger references to human rights and support which the harm reduction strategy garnered during negotiations are both positive outcomes, and ones partly due to the efforts of NGOs. The break-away coalition of 26 countries led by Germany, who voiced support for needle exchange and substitution treatment, was important proof of the lack of "Vienna consensus". Earlier this year, the United States also sent out an important signal by announcing that it accepted the scientific evidence behind needle exchange.
Despite the UNODC's secular approach to policy-making, NGOs managed to contribute significantly during the negotiation process with strong advocacy and research, in particular, the economic evaluation of Plan Colombia by a team at the University of the Andes, and the Latin American Commissions report 'Drugs and Democracy: Towards a Paradigm Shift', both available on GDPp's website.
At the meeting itself, NGOs were active in organizing satellite sessions and working with national delegations, which are increasingly seeking civil society's views on drug policy issues. Several NGO representatives were on national delegations. Members of the Eurasian Harm Reduction Network helped Georgia and Kyrgyzstan prepare excellent statements. A representative of Psicotropicus, a Brazilian organization, made a statement at the CND and the Harm Reduction Coalition brought several US groups to the meeting. NGOs met twice with the US mission during and reported that discussions were relatively friendly.
NGOs held a press conference at the event itself and worked hard to ensure press coverage in the run-up to the meeting, the International Drug Policy Consortium is now putting together an impressive press digest of well over 300 articles on the High Level Meeting. A lot of effort went into inspiring articles in influential publications, such as the Economist, which brought out a special issue on drug policy.
'Stop the Global War on Drugs!', an action by the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union outside the UN meeting, had prominent advocacy figures standing in cages to display the mistreatment of drug users - www.drogriporter.hu/en - and was effective in attracting the media's attention. They were joined in their effort by Youth RISE, INPUD and others. HCLU also displayed posters from their poster and film competition around Vienna and made onsite films.
The Transnational Institute's Drugs and Democracy program ran a blog at www.cndblog.org which was continually updated and received posts from over 150 people, attracting nearly 2,000 visitors within ten days. The International Harm Reduction Association also kept people up to date on events with their blog at www.ihrablog.net. Following the event, the IDPC published a rigorous analysis of UNODC executive director Antonio Costa's speech at www.idpc.info. The consortium also produced a series of advocacy materials ahead of the meeting and played a major role in coordinating advocacy efforts.
The launch of the TalkingDrugs portal - www.talkingdrugs.org - by Release means that there is now one central point for advocacy activities, extending the debate from the circles of drug policy organizations to involve the 'man on the street' by encouraging people to upload their own materials and contribute their own views. The International Harm Reduction Development program has recently published an excellent book entitled At What Cost? - www.soros.org/initiatives/health.
To conclude, there were clear signs that NGOs are coming together around issues and starting to communicate and cooperate effectively, thanks to regional and international drug policy structures. These efforts must be sustained to ensure that negative consequences of current international drug policy remain in the public eye and are responded to at country level. After all, this is where the impact of punitive, and often inhumane drug policies play out. NGOs have done an amazing amount to advocate drug policy based on human rights and public health, but we have much ahead of us to change drug policy structures over the next ten years.

With best wishes to all,
The Global Drug Policy team.
