UN Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances

The UN Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, established in 1988, aims to combat the global drug trade. It sets international laws to control and monitor the production, distribution, and sale of illegal drugs and psychotropic substances. Countries that sign the agreement commit to taking legal measures against drug trafficking, promoting international cooperation, and enhancing law enforcement efforts. The convention's goal is to reduce drug abuse and the associated harms to society while supporting public health initiatives worldwide.
