Report of the International Narcotics Control Board for 2008

“The International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) is the independent and quasi-judicial control organ monitoring the implementation of the United Nations drug control conventions.”

  • Report of the International Narcotics Control Board for 2008: “The historical development of international drug control is viewed through the lens of an increasingly globalized world, over a century that has seen the massive growth and transformation of commerce, finance, transport and communications. The falling away of barriers to trade and communications has contributed significantly to human development and brought immense benefits to society, but those benefits have been distributed unevenly. Poverty and economic inequality, the scarcity of vital resources, conflict, environmental degradation and climate change have created new tensions, and the most vulnerable sectors of society have been hit the hardest. Those factors in turn have created new challenges for the implementation of international drug control.”
