Illicit drug markets continue to expand, and the harms caused by drug trafficking and illicit drug economies are contributing to many threats, from instability and violence to environmental devastation. On 10-14 March in Vienna, the high-level segment of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) will review the implementation of all international drug policy commitments. The CND analyzes the global drug situation, considering the interrelated issues of prevention of drug abuse, rehabilitation of drug users and supply and trafficking of illicit drugs.
The Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) was established by Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) resolution 9(I) in 1946, to assist the ECOSOC in supervising the application of the international drug control treaties. In 1991, the General Assembly (GA) expanded the mandate of the CND to function as the governing body of UNODC (A/RES/46/104). The CND's agenda has two distinct segments: a normative segment for discharging treaty-based and normative functions; and an operational segment for exercising the role as the governing body of UNODC.
