The Conference has the following major goals and objectives:

• Increase the world's awareness of the scope and destructive power to civilised societies from the production, distribution and consumption of illegal drugs, and to increase the world's awareness of its capacity to overcome this evil.
• To discuss the ethical, moral, and scientific principles and practices that serve as the foundation for effective substance abuse prevention programs.
• To discuss the obstacles and solutions to effective drug demand reduction programs, laws, and policies such as legalisation, reduced regulations, and practices that enable illegal drug consumption.
• To persuade the nations of the world of the importance of vigorously supporting and implementing the United Nations' conventions on illegal drugs.
• Build on the body of knowledge, commitments, and relationships established at the Global Drug Prevention Conferences of Lima, Peru; Bangkok, Thailand; Palermo, Italy; and Penang, Malaysia.
