The Vienna NGO Committee organized a global NGO forum on the review of the implementation of goals set by the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Drugs in 1998. More than 300 NGOs were invited to this Beyond 2008 forum from all regions of the world in order to discuss three objectives (NGO achievements, NGO involvement, drug policy principles) in three days (July 7-9, 2008). The goal was to produce a consensus statement on behalf of the global civil society to the high level governmental meeting of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND), to be held in Vienna in March 2009. It is unlikely that this high level segment will change a word in the current drug control conventions framing global drug policies (because member states declared so), but it is likely that they shall adopt a new political declaration about the future directions of the global drug control regime. The Beyond 2008 process is the only formally accepted channel for civil society to influence the wording of this declaration. This is a 10 minutes video for those professionals, activists and decision makers who are more interested in international drug policy events.
