International Narcotics Control Board (INCB)

The International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) is an independent organization established by the United Nations to monitor and ensure compliance with international drug control treaties. Its primary mission is to prevent the illegal production and distribution of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. The INCB supports countries in developing effective drug control policies, recommends measures to reduce drug abuse, and assesses the availability of controlled substances for medical and scientific use. By fostering international cooperation, the INCB aims to strike a balance between safeguarding public health and ensuring access to necessary medications.
