Background of the establishment of International Anti-Drug Day:

1987 June 12-26, the ministerial conference on "drug abuse and illegal trafficking" was held in Vienna, attended by 3,000 representatives from 138 countries and regions. The conference put forward the slogan "Love life, don't take drugs".

At the same time, in order to further arouse the attention of countries and regions to the drug problem, call on people all over the world to resolutely crack down on drug attacks and drug-related crimes, and also to commemorate this significant international anti-drug conference, at the end of the conference, the delegates unanimously suggested that June 26th of each year be designated as the International Anti-Drug Day. This proposal was adopted by the United Nations.

The 42nd session of the United Nations General Assembly held in the same year passed a resolution to officially designate June 26th as the International Day against Drugs.
