| 26th June, 2008 | UN IDADAIT Message from the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon UNITED NATIONS INFORMATION SERVICE VIENNA (UNIS) UNIS/SGSM/053 24 June 2008 United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: "No one should be stigmatized or discriminated against because of their dependence on drugs" Message on the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, 26 June 2008 VIENNA, 26 June (UN Information Service) -- Ten years ago, in response to the seriousness of the world drug problem, Member States of the United Nations convened a Special Session of the General Assembly, where they committed themselves to a vigorous plan of action to reduce both the supply and demand for drugs. Today, drugs continue to destroy lives, generate crime and threaten sustainable development. But we also have a better understanding of how to confront drug abuse and trafficking. Policymakers can draw on a growing body of evidence about drug dependence and drug-use trends. International cooperation and technical assistance are improving law enforcement capabilities. Increased development assistance is helping to reduce poverty and the sale of illicit crops by giving farmers sustainable alternatives. A stronger focus on prevention and treatment is putting health at the centre of drug-control strategies and helping to slow the spread of HIV/AIDS. And there is a growing consensus, both within communities and among states, that drug control is a shared responsibility in which we all play a part. We still have much work to do to reduce our vulnerability to drugs. States with weak criminal justice systems and limited law enforcement capabilities need assistance to reduce illicit drug trafficking, which spreads crime, corruption and instability, and which ultimately endangers the successful realization of the Millennium Development Goals. As we mark the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, I remind all Member States of their responsibility to fully respect the rights of prisoners who are drug dependent or are in custody for drug-related crimes, especially their rights to life and a fair trial. I also call on Member States to ensure that people who are struggling with drug addiction be given equal access to health and social services. No one should be stigmatized or discriminated against because of their dependence on drugs. The combined efforts over the past decade have greatly enhanced our understanding of the drug problem worldwide and strengthened our capacity and resolve to reduce the damage done by drugs to individuals, their loved ones, to communities and states. On this International Day Against Drug Abuse, let us each shoulder our responsibility to prevent and reduce the damage that drugs do, and thereby build a healthier and safer world. |

As you are aware, the theme as declared by the United Nations to commemorate the 21st International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is maintained from last year’s, that is “Do Drugs Control Your Life?

It would also include a Cultural Programme on Thursday 26 June 2008 which would comprise of a Prize Giving for several National Competitions in Substance Abuse Prevention, ‘Temoignage’ from Ex-drug addicts, sketches and musical items, as well as a protocol part to close the Conference.

| 18th April, 2007 | A note from David Turner Dear Colleagues, In 1998 the United Nations General Assembly held a special session (UNGASS) on the global drug problem. The UNGASS adopted a Political Declaration and two action plans and agreed specific targets for measurable reductions in the drug problem by 2008. A review of achievements is due to be undertaken in 2008 followed by a high level meeting in 2009 to identify future action at the international and national levels. Led by the Vienna NGO Committee on Narcotic Drugs in collaboration with its sister NGO Committee in New York, work has been underway for some time to make a substantial NGO contribution to the UNGASS Review and identification of future action. Information about this work can be found at the web site of the Vienna NGO Committee on Narcotic Drugs under "Beyond 2008 Forum ". To collect the experience of the NGO community and its contribution to achieving the UNGASS targets, the questionnaire completed by Governments and submitted to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has been adapted for NGO use. This NGO Questionnaire is now on line in the six official languages. It can be accessed on the Vienna NGO Committee website either on the home page through a hyper-link in the last paragraph of the welcome from the Chair of the Committee or by clicking the link to "Beyond 2008 " on the side menu and then the link to the NGO Questionnaire. Please complete the NGO Questionnaire as completely as possible for your organisation and please advertise the questionnaire and the link as widely as possible through your own networks. The more responses we get the better will we be able to represent the experience of the NGO community. Thank you for your help and support.
