The list of journalists who received a scholarship from HCLU to travel to Vienna and report the High Level UN Meeting on drugs<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
HCLU provided support to 17 journalists from 9 European countries to come to Vienna and report the High Level Segment of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs – the meeting where government representatives reviewed the last 10 years of the international drug control system. Altough the official result of the meeting was dissapointing for us – governments adopted a political declaration that does not even mention harm reduction – the media presence and coverage was significantly better than ever before. The public pays very little attention to the UN drug control conferences in most European countries and few people are aware of the impact of the UN drug conventions on national level drug policies. After all, the UN consists of national governments so national level advocacy has crucial importance to reform the international drug control system.<\/p>\n
Our journalists were very active at the press conferences and satelite events, they posed several inconveniant but relevant questions to UN officials and government delegates. We believe that this cooperation between media and civil society contributed to make this event more transparent and accountable.<\/p>\n
