United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime
2024
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) supports country-level efforts against illicit drugs, crime, and terrorism. The UNODC focuses on using evidence-based research to better understand drug and crime issues and their impact on health; implementing field-based projects to assist countries with their capacity to address drugs and crime; and developing related domestic legislation and international treaties. The UNODC’s core topics include organized crime and human trafficking; corruption; criminal justice reform; and drug use and terrorism prevention.
UNODC publishes an annual flagship report, called the World Drug Report, analyzing the global state of drug use and international action that can be taken to cooperate on its regulation for health and security purposes. The organization also supplements its broad range of reports with a data portal which provides statistics on crime, corruption, drug trafficking, and drug use.
