The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is a global organization that aims to combat drug trafficking, organized crime, and terrorism. Established in 1997, it provides support to countries in developing effective policies and strategies to address these issues. The UNODC also promotes international cooperation and assists in the implementation of various treaties related to drug control and crime prevention.
In addition to its focus on drugs and crime, the UNODC works on issues such as human trafficking and corruption. It conducts research, offers training, and develops tools to help governments strengthen their legal frameworks. The office collaborates with other entities, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and Interpol, to enhance global security and public health.
