The origin and history of International Anti-Drug Day

　20 Since the 1980s, drug abuse has become increasingly widespread around the world, and drug smuggling has become increasingly serious. The proliferation of drugs directly harms people's physical and mental health and poses a huge threat to economic development and social progress. The increasingly serious drug problem has become a global disaster, and no country or region in the world can escape the scourge of drugs. Theft, robbery, fraud, prostitution and various vicious violent crimes caused by drug trafficking and drug abuse seriously endanger the public order of many countries and regions. In some places, the trinity of drug trafficking, terrorism, and underworld has constituted factors that undermine national stability. Faced with this grim situation, the United Nations held a Ministerial Conference on Narcotic Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking in Vienna from June 12 to 26, 1987, with the participation of more than 3,000 representatives from 138 countries. The meeting put forward the slogan "Love life, don't take drugs". Representatives at the conference unanimously agreed to designate June 26 every year as the "International Anti-Drug Day" to draw the attention of countries around the world to the drug problem and call on people around the world to work together to resist the harm of drugs. In December of the same year, the 42nd United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution and decided to designate June 26 of each year as the "International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking" (i.e., "International Day against Drug Abuse")

In the 1980s In the 1980s, faced with the serious situation of the increasing proliferation of drugs around the world and the increasingly serious drug trafficking, the United Nations convened a ministerial conference on narcotic drug abuse and illicit trafficking in Vienna, Austria, in June 1987. The meeting put forward the slogan "Love life, don't take drugs" and recommended that June 26 every year be designated as "International Anti-Drug Day" to draw the attention of countries around the world to the drug problem and jointly resist the harm of drugs. In December of the same year, the 42nd United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution officially designating June 26 each year as the International Day against Drug Abuse.

The drug epidemic is one of the major problems facing the world today. The population of drug users is getting younger and younger. Among people aged 16 to 64, about 5% have taken drugs illegally at least once a year. The annual global drug trade reaches 800 billion to 1 trillion US dollars. Up to 200,000 people die each year due to drug abuse, and tens of millions of people lose the ability to work due to drug abuse.

Although the international community has achieved certain results in curbing the spread of drugs and combating drug smuggling, the drug problem is still the top public hazard in the world today. According to statistics, about 200 million people around the world use drugs, and drug addicts are spread across more than 200 countries and regions around the world. The annual global drug trade reaches US$800 billion to US$1 trillion. In addition, drug abuse kills as many as 200,000 people worldwide every year, tens of millions of people lose the ability to work due to drug abuse, and drug abusers are getting younger and younger.

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime believes that if we want to control the spread of drugs, we must start from the source of drugs? Drug cultivation. According to data provided by the United Nations' "World Drug Report 2007", total global opium production reached 6,610 tons in 2006, a record high and an increase of 43% from 2005. Among them, Afghanistan's opium production was 6,100 tons, an increase of 2,000 tons compared with 2005. The main reason is that the poppy cultivation area in Afghanistan increased from 104,000 hectares in 2005 to 165,000 hectares in 2006.

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime pointed out that although the global drug epidemic has been brought under control, there is still a long way to go to fundamentally solve the drug problem. Countries should continue to strengthen international cooperation, provide technical assistance, and take effective measures to control the spread of drugs from the source.

In June 2009, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime released the 2009 World Drug Situation Report, which showed that although the global market for drugs such as cocaine and cannabis is stable or shrinking, in developing countries, the production and use of ecstasy, methamphetamine, and The use of synthetic drugs is increasing day by day. The production and consumption of new drugs are showing an upward trend, and the current situation of drugs and drug-related crimes in the world is very serious.
