Preferred term

1909 Shanghai Conference  

Definition

  • The 1909 Shanghai Conference was the first international conference to address the issue of drugs. Although the resolutions adopted at the conference were nonbinding, it resulted in the Hague Opium Conferences (1912–14) and the adoption of the 1912 International Opium Convention, which, combined with later treaties, restricted opium production and international trade.
