Two day conference in Oslo 28 - 29 April 2026

Nordic Mobilization on Human Rights and Drug Policy

When: 28–29 April 2026 Where: Sentralen, Oslo, Norway

What: A landmark conference launching a new Nordic network of user-organizations and allies dedicated to advancing human rights-based drug policy.

Why Now: With shrinking civil society space globally, weakening human rights protections, and growing organized crime, Nordic countries face a critical moment. This conference brings together people who use drugs, human rights defenders, researchers, and policymakers to develop shared strategies rooted in Nordic values: democracy, equality, trust, and freedom of speech.

Key Themes:

Human rights and justice in drug policy
Legal regulation as a tool to reduce organized crime income
Strengthening civil society's voice across Nordic borders

Organizers: Foreningen for human ruspolitikk (FHR) and 7 partner organizations from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland.

Supported by: Nordic Council of Ministers (DEMOS program)
