Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs

The Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs, adopted in 1988, is an international treaty aimed at combating drug trafficking. It strengthens previous laws by establishing measures for countries to cooperate in fighting against the illegal production, distribution, and sale of narcotics. The convention provides guidelines for extradition, mutual legal assistance, and the sharing of information between countries to effectively address drug-related crimes. Countries that ratify the convention commit to enforcing stricter laws and policies to curb drug trafficking, thereby working together to safeguard public health and safety globally.
