Meeting report

The second Brandenburg Forum in Geneva took place on the 1st and 2nd June 2022, bringing together a broad range of member state representatives, civil society members, and UN officials and human rights experts, to discuss challenges and opportunities for aligning drug policy and human rights across the UN system.

After two days of debates, participants were invited to identify their priorities for action on mobilising the UN system to align global drug policies with human rights. After a voting exercise, the winning activities were:

Top-voted priorities for action in Geneva:

• Present a resolution in the Human Rights Council during the March 2023 session (25 votes)
