	47th session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs
		Our review shows that illicit drugs, crime and violence affect communities very adversely as their citizens have to live in the environs where illicit drugs are readily available, and where crime and violence or the threat of crime and violence, are ever present.
		When different drug trafficking groups compete for a bigger share of the lucrative illicit drug market, violent confrontations in and around public places occur in such communities and in the absence of appropriate intervention, there is deterioration of law and order.
		Drugs, crime and violence are shown to particularly affect young people who often play a key role in manifestations of drug-related crime and violence at the local level both as perpetrators and as victims.

		Drugs are a grave threat to the health and well-being of all mankind, the independence of States, democracy, the stability of nations, the structure of all societies, and the dignity and hope of millions of people and their families..."
		United Nations activities in the area of drug control attack the problem from a number of angles, including efforts to reduce the demand for illicit drugs by assisting countries in developing programmes for the prevention of drug abuse and the treatment and rehabilitation of drug users.
		Governed by the CND, UNDCP was established in 1991 to be "the focal point of the United Nations Decade Against Drug Abuse (1991-2000)," and was a response to the growth of opiate addiction in South East Asia.

		The Commission called on States to require financial institutions to maintain all transaction records, to facilitate responses to requests for information to be used in criminal investigations and prosecutions, civil forfeiture proceedings, or regulatory actions.
		In addition; the Commission reiterated its call for States to support the efforts of the Executive Director by promoting, in other United Nations bodies, the inclusion of a drug-control dimension in their activities; and by engaging in a dialogue on drug abuse control at the field level with the multilateral development institutions.
		The Commission would make that proposal on the grounds that "the drug problem is a global and transnational phenomenon which in different ways affects all countries" and in recognition of universal concern about the issue.

		The commission, with the participation of delegates from 53 nations, met in Vienna, Austria, March 20-29, to review how governments and the United Nations are meeting goals and target dates for action against the world drug problem, as established during a 1998 special session of the U.N. General Assembly.
		These were among the key directives issued today by the Commission on Narcotic Drugs, which has been meeting here since 20 March to review how governments and the UN itself are living up to the goals and target dates called for by the General Assembly at a 1998 special session on the world drug problem.
		In action taken on 20 March, the Commission voted to place three so-called "party drugs" and one sedative under the control regime of the 1971 UN Convention on Psychotropic Substances and to tighten the watch over two common chemicals that are often diverted into illicit channels for processing heroin and cocaine.

	Article 7
		The Commission has two different kinds of powers: those assigned to it by its terms of reference or other decisions of the Council 12 ("Charter functions"), and those granted to it by provisions of the Single Convention or of earlier narcotics treaties ("treaty functions").
		The Commission's decisions and recommendations, whether in form of recommendations to the Council, of draft resolutions suggested for the Council's adoption or of actions in the name of the Commission itself, are included in the reports of the Commission to the Council.
		The recommendations and decisions of the Commission referred to in the Spanish version would therefore not be those taken pursuant to the provisions of the Single Convention-as in the English and French text-but resolutions adopted pursuant to provisions of the Commission itself.

	ENCOD Letter to UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs Annual Meeting
		In our view, the global regime of drugs prohibition urgently needs to be replaced with national or regional drug policies that are primarily shaped from the perspective of public health and sustainable development.
		The structural problems that derive from poverty in the countries that produce coca leaves, opium poppies and cannabis are determining factors for the increase of this cultivation; consequently, AD should become a core element of national plans of integrated, sustainable and concerted development in the corresponding countries.
		Programmes should contribute to a climate where illicit drugs are no longer demonised, and information is available on their potential damages and benefits, on the basis of scientific studies.

		The Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) is the central agency in the United Nations system responsible for setting international drug policy.
		This makes it critically important for drug users to have access to non-injected drug opiate substitutes (such as methadone and buprenorphine), as well as sterile injection equipment, until such time as they can stop using drugs.
		This is especially true given the chronic and relapsing nature of drug addiction and the worldwide scarcity of effective drug treatment.
