International Drug Control

International drug control refers to the coordinated efforts by countries and international organizations to regulate and manage the production, distribution, and consumption of drugs, particularly those that are illegal or harmful. It aims to reduce drug trafficking and abuse while ensuring that legitimate medical and scientific needs for certain substances are met. This is achieved through treaties like the United Nations Drug Control Conventions, which set guidelines for member states. The focus is on promoting public health, safety, and human rights while tackling the challenges posed by drug dependency and related crime.
