2021 OSCE-wide Conference on Combating the Threat of Illicit Drugs and the Diversion of Chemical Precursors: Addressing Drug Trafficking and Related Organized Crime by Following the Money

The conference will provide a platform for experts from OSCE participating States, OSCE Partners for Co-operation, OSCE executive structures, including field operations, as well as international organizations and civil society to discuss challenges posed by drug trafficking and its linkages with other forms of organized crime, as well as to identify proposals to address these threats.

Participants will discuss means and ways to tackle drug-related crimes, including corruption, money laundering and trafficking in persons, as the most challenging threats that require an increased co-ordinated response at regional and international levels.

The Conference targets experts from national drug control structures, representatives of relevant international and regional organizations, as well as civil society, including youth. Practitioners from pertinent government ministries, such as the ministries of interior, justice, health, and foreign affairs, as well as local institutions are especially encouraged to participate.
