The aim of the Conference is to provide a platform for experts from the OSCE participating States, OSCE Partners for Co-operation, OSCE executive structures, international organizations and civil society to discuss challenges posed by drug trafficking and its linkages with other forms of organized crime and terrorism, as well as to identify proposals to address these threats. In particular, participants will discuss drug prevention, and means and ways to tackle drug-related crimes, such as corruption, money-laundering, trafficking in persons and firearms, and terrorism, as the most challenging threats that require an increased co-ordinated response at regional and international levels.
