Paul Hunt (the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health)
Michel Sidibe (the UNAIDS Director of Country and Regional Support)
Antonio Maria Costa (the UNODC Executive Director)

If you have not already done so, please visit www.ihraconferences.net for more information - including information about delegate fees, registration, accommodation and travel.
The main conference language is English, but translation will be available for some sessions in Spanish, French and Russian - making this a truly inclusive and global event. Over the past two decades, the IHRA conferences have become a unique opportunity for more than 1,200 harm reduction advocates, government and UN officials, people who use drugs, and frontline workers to come together and share their experiences and ideas. This is the must attend harm reduction event.
