A “Vienna Declaration,” endorsing harm reduction – and emphasizing drug policy based on science, not ideology – was launched at the meeting, and gathered more than 10,000 signatories. But the most influential Eastern European signatory was the First Lady of Georgia, a country whose estimated 2,700 HIV-infected people account for just 0.018% of the regional total.
会上发布的“维也纳宣言”既认可了减轻危害措施的效用，同时也并强调毒品政策应当建立在科学而非意识形态之上，并征集了超过1万名代表的签名。但东欧签名者中影响力最大的要数格鲁吉亚第一夫人，而该国的爱滋病感染者数量（2700名）仅占整个地区的0.018%。有鉴于各国政府的不作为，剩下的那99.982%东欧感染者——以及所有那些可能被他们危害的人——都只好自生自灭了。
