The report includes in-depth and cross-sectoral analyses of transnational drug markets as well as the latest statistical data and trends regarding the world drug situation. This year, the report also discusses the impact of transnational drug trafficking on transit countries.
Drug control has been on the global agenda for more than a century. As documented in the World Drug Report 2008, the Chinese opium epidemic in the early twentieth century spurred concerted international action, chiefly in the form of a series of treaties passed over several decades. These treaties, in particular the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, and the 1988 Convention against the Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, continue to define the international drug control system. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is the guardian of these treaties and the United Nations lead agency on drug control.
