Book Description

One of the functions of the International Narcotics Control Board is to provide an annual report to the United Nations on the implementation of article 12, paragraph 13 of the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of 1988. The Board monitors the implementation of this Convention by international governments, examining control measures over illicit substances, and assessing whether other substances require international control. Where necessary the Board assists governments in verifying the legitimacy of individual transactions involving precursors or essential chemicals to prevent their diversion into illicit traffic. From the information provided by governments the INCB has established a databank, which can be used as a tool to help governments prevent the distribution of precursor and essential chemicals and their illicit manufacture of such drugs as amphetamine t-type stimulants, cocaine, heroin, MDMA and LSD

Book Description

The UN Drug Conventions - the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, the 1971 Psychotropic Convention, the 1972 Protocol to the Single Convention and the 1988 UN Drug Trafficking Convention - regulate the global suppression of illicit drugs. This volume examines the provisions of these conventions that require states to adopt penal measures against drugs in their domestic law. Its introductory chapters explore the controversial application of drug prohibition by international society and the historical development of this policy through the penal provisions of the drug conventions. The substantive chapters investigate the various facets of the illicit drug control system created by these penal provisions: crimes and penalties; jurisdiction and extradition; general and specific forms of drug law enforcement co-operation; and the supervision of the system by the UN drug control organs. The conclusion offers a general critique of the system and makes suggestions about its future development.
