 I'm going to talk a little bit about some of the international debates that are happening at the UN and how civil society can get involved in those debates, but also most importantly why civil society should get involved in those debates. My name is Jamie Bridge, I work for the International Drug Policy Consortium, but I'm chair of the Vienna NGO committee and the co-chair of the Civil Society Task Force, mae'n gallu ei wneud ar ffordd o'i gwneud yma yn ymwrth i'r hyn.

And the goal of that strategy, the target was to eliminate, or significantly reduced drug markets by 2019. So, we've got six weeks left to eliminate drugs and have a drug free world. It's either going to be the most incredible six weeks in the history of the world or we're not going to get there. But that's the target they set themselves and that's why 2019 is an important year because it's the year by which that target is supposed to be achieved.

That includes home reduction networks but it also includes prevention groups, abstinence based groups, treatment organisations, access to justice groups. We really, the task force is designed to represent the entire spectrum of views that exist. And that can be a real challenge but it's also the strength of the task force. Because the spectrum of views is so broad, it's much easier for us to argue to have the space for civil society to be heard.

Fy rhai ddechrau, ydym ni'n gweld gweithio llwyddon llwaith yn gyffredinol bydd yma yng Nghymru, nad ydych chi'n nhw'n gweithio, We received about 500 responses which we're really pleased with and we're currently analysing the results and the results of that consultation, that will be the closest thing we've got to a civil society position on drugs. That's why we've done that consultation. So those results will be launched in Vienna again in a couple of weeks time on 5 December and then we will formally submit the report to the governments in the hope that it then influences the actual debates itself. It influences the outcome of this meeting in 2019. In early 2019, we will also hold some civil society meetings and these will be opportunities for civil society to come along. The audience will be the governments. The panellists will be civil society and it's our chance again to get our thoughts and our views across and to try and influence the debates. And when those hearings are confirmed, again, we'll select the speakers through an open call. So if you're interested in speaking at these debates, if you're interested in coming to the United Nations and talking to governments, please do look up the civil society task force on social media, follow us on Twitter or like us on Facebook and all that stuff. And as soon as there is an opportunity for people to speak, you'll be the first to hear about it. So with all of those efforts, the current situation in Vienna is actually pretty good for civil society. We've seen a really big improvement over the last 5 to 10 years. Certainly if you compare where we are now to where we were in 2009 when they agreed this 10 year declaration, we're in a much, much stronger position. We are widely acknowledged, we're widely accepted as being part of these meetings now, not just some kind of outsiders. We can attend the meetings. Officially we're listed as observers but we can attend all the public elements of the meeting. We can speak in these sessions, we can organise side events, we can submit our contributions and most importantly we're being heard. The United Nations is kind of similar to the EU and other international kind of structures. It does move slowly and on drugs the United Nations moves by consensus so it's even slower than other parts. But we are seeing a real trend towards better responses, more humane responses and the civil society involvement has been a really big part of that. But of course there's lots of challenges remaining. A lot of governments do still remain very cautious about civil society, maybe even a little untrusting of civil society. Particularly those governments that at home in their domestic situation there really isn't that role of civil society to be the critical friend of government. I think in Europe that's a pretty well established role that civil society plays. But in other parts of the world that's actually something that's quite uncomfortable for some governments to get used to. And at the same time that role of being the critical friend is sometimes difficult for the government to accept when it's being criticised. They've always said to us they want to hear the voices from the ground. They want to hear from a treatment organisation in Tanzania or a harm reduction organisation in Romania or some prevention organisation in Indonesia. They want to hear from the people on the ground. But when the people on the ground want to tell their story it isn't always positive. And it's a challenge for those governments to listen to a civil society speaker criticising the way they do things at home. Governments don't like being embarrassed in front of their friends at the United Nations, they don't like that at all. And so that's always been a challenge that we've constantly tried to address. There's diplomatic ways to make your point heard without standing up and saying my government's corrupt, please sack them. That is not going to go down well at the United Nations, no matter how true it might be. Because civil society is more visible at these meetings we have seen in recent years that more and more of the really important stuff is going on behind the closed doors. There are still these meetings, they call them informals and as observers we're not allowed in those rooms. They're closed meetings, unminuted, unrecorded and that's where the real stuff happens. But we're seeing more and more negotiations happening behind the closed doors and that's something we need to keep challenging. But the way round that, and this is happening in a lot of countries at the moment, the way round that is to get your government delegation to put someone from civil society on the government delegation and that means there is no closed door. Once you're on a government delegation you are allowed in any room in this UN building, you have access to all areas. And then there's the perpetual problems and you'll all be very familiar with these as relevant at the international level as we are at the national level. There's very little financial support for participation, the task force has managed to get some funding. We have donations from Russia, from Sweden, from Germany and from the Netherlands and so that's enabled us to bring some people but nowhere near enough. And there's also this lack of capacity, people don't understand what the United Nations is or what's happening at the United Nations and that's really the job of organisations like the civil society task force but also like IDPC. That's our job to try and keep communicating those things. So this is my last slide and it's kind of the most important one because what does this matter? Sometimes the United Nations debates can seem so disconnected from reality and sometimes they are so disconnected from reality. You'd be forgiven for thinking, well this doesn't affect me, why would I waste my time travelling to Vienna in winter where it's freezing cold to go to this meeting and talk to governments who aren't going to listen anyway. But it does matter. These debates will set the tone for drug policy, the international drug policy for the next 10 years and no matter what country you're from the international policy does influence the national policy and it does influence the regional policy. Almost every country has a drug law and a drug strategy that is based to some extent on the international treaties and the international political declaration. So it really does matter and if we can make progress at this level then that progress can filter down to the national level where it really matters. We did make progress for the UNGAS, for the 2016 meeting in New York. We really did break through on some of those issues. Like I say, for the first time we now have the United Nations saying that every country must provide naloxone. That's now written in stone at the United Nations. We've got a stronger language than we've ever had before about access to medicines, access to opiates for pain relief, human rights obligations. So we really have made progress and I think it's really important now because we're seeing some governments try to maybe step back from that a little bit. Even since 2016 the world's become an even more right wing populist place and we are seeing that as having an impact in Vienna as well. So a lot of what we've got to try and do in 2019 is to protect the advances that we've made and make sure that we don't accidentally slide back to 2009 or even earlier. But lastly and by no means least is a real opportunity for you and for your NGO and for your community to have your voice heard by governments. By your own government if they're there but also by the international community. And we've seen the impact that this has had and I hope it will continue to have an impact and that's why we've created the Silver Society Task Force to make sure that you have that opportunity to speak. So if you're interested in the task force or you just want to find out a bit more please visit our website or you can find us on Facebook and Twitter. I'm, as I say, I'm one of the co-chairs. Please email me or I'm happy to answer questions. My fellow co-chair is from the New York Committee, a lady called Heather Hasse, and again that's her email up there. There are representatives for Europe, for Western Europe and for Eastern Europe, but crucially there's also a representative for harm reduction. She couldn't be here but her colleagues are here from Harm Reduction International, Sam's going to present after me. Her name's Olga and again she is there to represent the harm reduction community. So please don't hesitate to bother her. Don't hesitate to tell her that I told you to bother her. And yeah, she's there to represent you guys and to help again make sure your voices are heard. So thank you very much.
