The United Nations and the Fight Against Drug Abuse
Caption Description
Societies in all parts of the world have discovered substances which can alleviate pain and cure various ailments and also give pleasurable sensations when consumed. However, all these substances can be dangerous because their constant use can lead to complete dependence. For more than 60 years, governments have been meeting to draw up agreements and conventions in their efforts to control the production, distribution and misuse of narcotic drugs. This area is the particular responsibility of the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs as well as the UN Fund for Drug Abuse Control. Established in 1971, the Fund develops long-term plans and short-term procedures for dealing with drug problems and also provides financial assistance in implementing them. The UN and its related agencies serve as executing agencies in their respective fields for projects financed by the Fund.
In a number of countries more and more young people are experimenting with dependence producing drugs. In this scene taken in a public park in Stockholm, policemen check out two suspected drug users. [Exact date unknown]
