Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs William R. Brownfield and National Drug Control Policy Director Michael Botticelli are co-leading the U.S. delegation to the 58th Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND), March 9–12, in Vienna, Austria. The CND, consisting of member states from around the world, monitors the world drug situation, develops strategies on international drug control and recommends measures to combat the world drug problem, including through reducing demand for drugs, promoting alternative development initiatives and adopting supply reduction measures. This CND will include preparation for next year’s United Nations General Assembly Special Session on international drug policy.

The United States delegation will also include representatives of the Department of Justice, the Drug Enforcement Agency, Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

While in Vienna, Assistant Secretary Brownfield will also conduct bilateral meetings with a number of member states of the Commission on Narcotics Drugs, will attend several multilateral engagements, and will speak with press.
