Q: What is the first International Day Against Drug Abuse in 2019 and when is it? A: International Day Against Drug Abuse 2019 is the 32nd, on Thursday, June 26th.
What are drugs Drugs are narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances that can cause people to form an addiction. Drugs not only directly jeopardize people's physical and mental health, but also bring great threats to economic development and social progress. Drug use and drug trafficking can easily lead to fraud, violent crimes, and a series of social problems, and the drug problem is often associated with money laundering and human trafficking and other crimes.
International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking Historical Background In the 1980s, in the face of the growing proliferation of drugs around the globe, drug trafficking is becoming increasingly serious situation, the United Nations in June 1987 in Vienna, Austria, convened a leadership-level meeting on drug abuse and illicit trafficking. The Conference put forward the slogan "Love Life, Don't Use Drugs" and recommended that June 26th of each year should be designated as "International Day Against Drug Abuse", so as to draw the attention of all countries in the world to the problem of drugs, and to ****together with them to counteract the hazards of drugs. In December of the same year, the 42nd session of the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution, officially June 26 each year as the "International Day Against Drug Abuse".
The proliferation of drugs is one of the major problems facing the world today. The drug-using population is getting younger and younger, with about 5 percent of the population between the ages of 16 and 64 years old having taken drugs illegally at least once a year. The global drug trade amounts to $800 billion to $1 trillion annually, and drug abuse kills up to 200,000 people each year, with tens of millions incapacitated by drug use.
While the international community has achieved some success in curbing the spread of drugs and combating drug trafficking, the drug problem is still the world's number one public health problem today. According to statistics, there are about 200 million people using drugs globally, with drug-abusing populations in more than 200 countries and regions around the world, and the annual global drug trade amounting to 800 billion to 1 trillion U.S. dollars. In addition, the number of deaths due to drug abuse is as high as 200,000 per year, tens of millions of people are incapacitated by drug abuse, and the drug-using population is getting younger and younger.
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is of the view that in order to control the problem of drug proliferation, it is necessary to start from the source of drugs - drug cultivation. According to the data provided by the UN's 2007 World Drug Report, the total global opium production reached a record high of 6,610 tons in 2006, an increase of 43 percent over 2005. Of that total, 6,100 tons of opium were produced in Afghanistan, an increase of 2,000 tons over 2005. This was mainly due to an increase in the area under opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan from 104,000 hectares in 2005 to 165,000 hectares in 2006.
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) pointed out that although the global drug epidemic has been brought under control, there is a long way to go to solve the drug problem at its root. Countries should continue to strengthen international cooperation, carry out technical assistance and take effective measures to control the spread of drugs at source.
In June 2009, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime published its 2009 Annual Report on the World Drug Situation, which shows that although the global market for drugs such as cocaine and marijuana is in a stable state or shrinking, in developing countries, the production and use of synthetic drugs such as ecstasy is increasing. The production and use of synthetic drugs such as ecstasy is increasing in developing countries. The production and consumption of new drugs are on the rise, and the current situation of drugs and drug-related crime in the world is very serious.
