The United Nations Association of Hungary organized a press conference on the International Day Against Drug Abuse, June 26, 2008. The title of the event was “The Evaluation of the 10 years drug strategy of the UN”.

Dr. István Bayer, professor of pharmacology, who represented Hungary at the Commission on Narcotic Drugs for 12 years, Eva Tounge, the president of the Vienna NGO Committee, and Peter Sarosi, the  Drug Policy Director of HCLU spoke about the review of the implementation of the goals adopted at the UNGASS on drugs in 1998 – from a non-governmental point of view.
