International
Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking
26 June
The
General Assembly in 1987 decided to observe 26 June as the International
Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking as an expression
of its determination to strengthen action and co-operation to achieve
the goal of an international society free of drug abuse. It took
that action on 7 December 1987 (resolution 42/112), following
a recommendation of the 1987 International Conference on Drug
Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, which, on 26 June, had adopted
the Comprehensive Multidisciplinary Outline of Future Activities
in Drug Abuse Control.
The slogan of the UNODC anti-drugs campaign is "Do drugs control your life? Your life. Your community. No place for drugs." The slogan will be used for three years and focus on different aspects of drug control: drug abuse in 2007, drug cultivation and production in 2008, and illicit drug trafficking in 2009.
