Amongst all the crimes in the world drug abuse and illicit trafficking are common in many countries.

Drug abuse is a serious concern as many people died at early age due to uses of illegal drugs. Like drug
abuse another crime around the world in illicit trafficking.

These are getting global concern and by resolution 42/112 of 7 December 1987, the United Nations
General Assembly decided to observe 26 June as the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit
Trafficking as an expression of its determination to strengthen action and cooperation to achieve the
goal of an international society free of drug abuse.

This year's theme highlights that justice and health are two sides of the same coin when it comes to
addressing drug problems. Effective responses to the world drug problem require inclusive and
accountable institutions of criminal justice, health and social services to work hand in hand to provide
integrated solutions, in line with the international drug control conventions, human rights obligations
and the Sustainable Development Goals.

The key organisation in the UN system related to this issue is United Nations Office on Drugs and Crimes
(UNODC).

It encourages individuals, non-profit organizations, the private sector and Member States to get
involved in its social media campaign to mark this day and invites them to draw on the resources
provided in the social media campaign package.

It supports Member States in implementing a balanced, health- and evidence-based approach to the
world drug problem that addresses both supply and demand and is guided by human rights and the
agreed international drug control framework.

This approach involves: treatment, support, and rehabilitation; ensuring access to controlled substances
for medical purposes; working with farmers who previously cultivated illicit drug crops to develop
alternative sustainable livelihoods for them; and establishing adequate legal and institutional
frameworks for drug control through using international conventions.

Past Observances Themes

2016-2018 - "Listen First - Listening to children and youth is the first step to help them grow healthy and
safe"

2015 - "Lets Develop — Our Lives — Our Communities — Our Identities — Without Drugs"

2014 - "A message of hope: Drug use disorders are preventable and treatable"

2013 - "Make health your 'new high' in life, not drugs"

2012 - "Global Action for Healthy Communities without Drugs"

2011 - "Say No!

" 2010 - "Think health - not drugs"

In his message Antonio Guterres, Secretary-General of UN said that "national priorities may differ, but
the international community shares a common goal to protect people's security and well-being, while
striving for the progress and dignity of all. I welcome the theme of this International Day against Drug
Abuse and Illicit Trafficking – "health for justice, justice for health" – underlining the importance of a
holistic approach involving health, human rights, criminal justice and social service institutions."

He calls on all governments to live up to this pledge. This means cracking down on drug trafficking and
those who profit from human misery, including by enhanced international cooperation and intelligence-
sharing across the entire drug supply chain.

It also means human rights-based, gender- and age-sensitive prevention, treatment and rehabilitation
services for drug use and HIV, offered without stigma or discrimination. It also means law enforcement
approaches that protect people from violence and criminal exploitation.

Making our society free from illegal drugs or illicit trafficking needs contribution from each and every
one of us. Individuals, governments, civil society, media all must work together to make our world free
from illicit trafficking and illegal drugs which has killed millions around the world. There are challenges
but we must make sure that we make our society free from illegal drugs.

The International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, also known as 'World Drug Day',
is celebrated annually on 26 June. The theme of World Drug Day 2019 is "Health for Justice.
Justice for Health."

This year's theme highlights that justice and health are two sides of the same coin when it

World Drug Day 2019

Posted on June 19, 2019

On 26 June 2019, the United Nations, governments, non-governmental organizations, the media
and citizens around the world will observe the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit
Trafficking to raise awareness about the impact of drug abuse and illicit trafficking of drugs.

The UNODC theme for the 2019 ‘World Drug Day’ – is “Health for Justice. Justice for Health”.
The theme highlights that justice and health are two sides of the same coin when it comes to
addressing drug problems, and that effective responses to the world drug problem require
inclusive and accountable institutions of criminal justice, health and social services to work hand
in hand to provide integrated solutions, in line with the international drug control conventions,
human rights obligations and the Sustainable Development Goals. As in previous years UNODC
has made available materials such as logos and social media packages. UNODC hashtags for
World Drug Day 2019 will be #Health4Justice and #Justice4Health.

Many of our members designed their own campaigns and will hold events all over the world.
Take a look at what is being done:

Support. Don’t Punish is a global grassroots-centred initiative in support of harm reduction and
drug policies that prioritise public health and human rights. The campaign seeks to put harm
reduction on the political agenda by strengthening the mobilisation capacity of affected
communities and their allies, opening dialogue with policy makers, and raising awareness among
the media and the public. The UNODC theme “Health for Justice. Justice for Health” has great
potential for synergies with the messages that the Support. Don’t Punish campaign has
promoted for the last 6 years.

The campaign’s
yearly high point is the Global Day of Action, which takes place on, or around, 26th June (the
International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking). In many places, this date is still
commemorated by showcasing drug control “achievements” in coercive terms. The campaign’s
Global Day of Action seeks to shift the day’s narrative, focusing on the values of compassion,
empathy and community. And so, every year, an increasing number of activists in dozens of
cities all over the world join this unique and multifaceted show of force for reform and harm
reduction.

Over the last 6 years, the campaign has seen more than 700 activities organised in 110
countries. The 2019 edition of the Support. Don’t Punish Global Day of Action is currently under
preparation, with a broad range of activities being planned in over 200 cities in 80+ countries. A
full list of activities will be soon available online to encourage solidarity and facilitate
participation. For more information, please do not hesitate to contact campaign@idpc.net.

Organisation: Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association (SANA)

Event: Rise Above Campaign – Overcoming the Influence

Campaign Period: 26 June 2019 – 27 July 2019

Main Event: 27 July 2019 (Saturday), 4PM – 5.30PM
Objectives:
1. Garner mindshare and support for a drug-free Singapore
2. Counter the misperception toward drugs
3. Co-create preventive solutions and projects with community partners and stakeholders
· Build community anti-drug coalitions to lead preventive efforts on the ground
· Mobilise SANA Peer Leaders who are recovering drug users to advocate the anti-drug message
to youths and schools

Campaign Activities:

· Online social media campaign featuring video testimonies

from SANA’s clients and people in recovery on SANA FB
· Futsal tournament for at-risk youths to raise awareness on drug issues;
· Community Social Responsibility (CSR) activities involving SANA’s clients and community
outreach projects; and
· Anti-drug projects and outreach efforts organised by students and people in recovery.

On the occasion of the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit
Trafficking, Dianova launches the “Human Empowerment” campaign. The campaign aims to
raise awareness of the need to promote a holistic approach to the addiction treatment based on
individual empowerment by integrating the gender perspective.
Through the lenses of a unique concept, Human Empowerment, the campaign will address on
the ability to choose by embracing life, promote education and life skills and regain control over
your life and individual development.

We want to emphasize that it is possible to overcome these obstacles. That is why we consider it
urgent to promote better accessibility to programs tailored to people’s needs and expectations.
The ultimate goal is to help people regain their autonomy as well as their ability to make
responsible and informed decisions about substance use and addictive behaviour.
Alcohol and other substance-related disorders generate considerable public health expenditure
(0.3% of GDP), both in terms of human and economic costs. And a huge effort is required for the
Government to tailor services to the specific needs of men and women.

It should be noted that women with substance use

disorders are particularly victims of prejudice and discrimination. On the one hand, they are
“labelled” as consumers of alcohol or other drugs. And on the other hand as having failed in
their traditional roles as mothers and wives. The impact of this double stigma relates to the
volume: of the 5 people receiving treatment, only 1 is a woman.
In this context, Dianova advocates the implementation of gender-sensitive programs, including
integrated programs offering a wide range of services.

Youth RISE will participate in the Support. Don’t Punish Global Day of Action campaign and
implement activities on the day of International Day Against Drug Abuse. Youth RISE members
will be involved in events in Ireland, Lithuania, Mexico and South Africa. The members plan to be
vocal on issues facing young people as well as effective harm reduction strategies.

“Young Wave” from Lithuania is organizing a media campaign to provide facts and stimulate
discussions about state of harm reduction in Lithuania. There will be 3 pictures, illustrating
Lithuania’s position on harm reduction: 1) lack of and weak harm reduction services 2) low
coverage of OST program 3) lack of funding for harm reduction services, while lots of money is
invested into incarceration of people who use drugs.

The Support Don’t Punish Global Day of Action in Cape Town, South Africa will see numerous
organisations come together in support of harm reduction strategies and drug policies that
prioritise public health and human rights. The day’s programme comprises of various youth
performances and activities, alongside presentations from key stakeholders and government
representatives. The focus of the event is to showcase the collective effort within the sector to
stand together and promote the message of Support Don’t Punish. Youth RISE will provide
financial support as well as present educational information on substance use and harm
reduction strategies.

In Dublin, Ireland the Support Don’t Punish Global Day of Action event will involve a number of
organizations coming together at the main park and shopping area in Dublin to interact with
members of the public in an attempt to strike up conversations about people who use drugs, the
services that are provided for them, and the failings of prohibitionist policies. In Ireland there is
currently discussions being held in the public sphere regarding the decriminalization of
substances for personal use, and we currently have planning permission being processed for a
Supervised Injection Facility. While this progress is good the planning has been processed for
almost three years now and we are still lacking in other key harm reduction facilities such as
drug checking. It is important that the dangers presented by these shortcomings are highlighted
on such a significant day in the drug policy reform calendar.

In Mexico the activities will vary from a youth discussion for sensible drug policy in downtown
Mexico City at the Auditorio Nacional Benito Juarez along with the Institure of Legislative
investigation, Agora foundation and Instituto RIA. In Queretaro, Queretaro, central Mexico,
organized by SSDP Mexico the forum: use of psychoactive substance, institutional prespectives
and non punitive alternative will take place on tuesday june 25th at Jardin Guerrero which is a
public plaza in downtown Queretaro with speakers from SSDP and the Municipal Institute for
the Prevention and Elimination of Discrimination. There will also be events taking place in
Aguascalientes and Ciudad Juarez to raise awareness that drug policies in Mexico contribute to
drug related violence, corruption and stigma to drug users. Mexico is a country that has been
affected by punitive drug policies and a lack of proper education on prevention of legal and
illegal psychoactive substance. Most drug users within the country do not have access to harm
reduction tools and most have not even heard of harm reduction risks and damages associated
with the consumption of drugs. With these events we hope to bring awareness on the need for a
social and legislative changes in Mexico , since punitive and criminally focused policies have
directly and indirectly led to violence throughout the country, an issue that continues to affect
our youth population, while also opening up a safe space for drug users, their families and policy
makers to change their views on drugs and drug users and the prevention of violence and
substance abuse. With the events taking place in Queretaro and Mexico City we will also bring
attention to our ConectArte project.

Message on International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking

26 June 2019

VIENNA, 26 June 2019 (UN Information Service) - On the occasion of the International Day
Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, this year's theme "Health for justice. Justice for health"
invites us to reflect on the importance of justice in ensuring positive health outcomes for all
people, and in particular, for the most vulnerable among us.

It also reminds us that for many people affected by drug use and drug trafficking, justice remains
elusive - whether due to extrajudicial reprisals, disproportionate criminal justice responses,
impediments to treatment and social reintegration or the legal and societal stigma which
continues to be associated with drug use and dependence.

The International Narcotics Control Board has advocated State responses to drug abuse and
trafficking which meet the drug control conventions' call for proportionality and which are
rooted in the respect for human rights and human dignity.
The Board has made clear that extrajudicial responses to suspected drug-related activity cannot,
under any circumstance, be justified. These acts, whether committed by State actors, or
condoned or encouraged by them, constitute egregious violations of human rights and of the
drug control conventions which require legal responses to drug-related conduct. Accordingly,
the Board has condemned extrajudicial acts of violence committed against persons suspected of
drug-related activities and has called for these acts to be investigated and prosecuted.

In the face of over-incarceration for drug-related offences of a lesser gravity, including those
committed by people who use drugs, the Board has reminded States of the possibility set forth
in the drug control conventions to apply alternative measures to conviction or punishment and
of the need to ensure respect for the principle of proportionality in the determination of
penalties. It remains a great cause of concern for the Board that these provisions continue to be
underutilised by States and the Board is committed to continuing its efforts to encourage their
greater implementation.

The Board has also encouraged States which continue to retain the death penalty for drug-
related offences to consider abolishing capital punishment for that category of offence in light of
key international developments in this regard.

Finally, a just society is one that cares for even its most marginalised members. The Board will
continue to advocate for greater access to treatment, rehabilitation and aftercare measures as
required by the drug control conventions and to highlight the importance of dismantling
obstacles to social reintegration, including the continued stigmatisation of drug users.

While the Board is heartened by the progress made in many States towards the adoption of a
more humane and just drug policy, one which places the health and welfare of the individual at
its core, this year as every year on the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit
Trafficking, we are reminded of the work left to be done. In the pursuit of its mandate and in
whatever manner it can, the Board will continue to support State Parties to the international
drug control conventions in their efforts.

***

INCB is the independent, quasi-judicial body charged with promoting and monitoring
Government compliance with the three international drug control conventions: the 1961 Single
Convention on Narcotic Drugs, the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, and the 1988
Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances. Established by
the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961, the thirteen members of the Board are elected
in a personal capacity by the Economic and Social Council for terms of five years.
HEALTH FOR JUSTICE, JUSTICE FOR HEALTH

 THISDAY

 26 Jun 2019

The United Nations’ (UN) International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking falls on June
26 each year to raise awareness of the major problem that illicit drugs represent. This year’s
theme is: Health for Justice, Justice for Health which highlights that justice and health are two
sides of the same coin when it comes to addressing drug problems. The menance of illicit drug
trafficking and abuse is not only a problem in Nigeria but also to the global community. It poses
heinous threats to human lives, destabilizes economic development, weakens national security,
undermines public health, trade engagements and puts the health of citizens in danger.

As a nation, we have had our share of crime almost on a daily basis what with many of our
youths being arrested while attempting to traffic hard drugs such as cocaine, heroin and
marijuana in their hair, brassieres, panties and stomach, etc., both within and outside the
country. The consequences of the production, distribution, trafficking and consumption of those
illicit and sub-standard drugs no matter the form can be titanic to the entire human race.

To maintain a drug-free and healthy healthcare system, drug offence in some countries,
especially Asia, Saudi Arabia carries a death penalty, yet the fight against drug trafficking is far
from success. Only recently, a Nigerian woman was beheaded and another executed in Saudi
Arabia for drug running which ignited a vigorous discussion about this miserable business.

These traffickers clearly know the score if they are caught, or if their drugs explode in their
bellies. But I believe that whatever the basic reason for wanting to be involved in this business,
the ultimate consideration for these drug traffickers before going ahead is the principle of risk
calculation.

This year’s theme “Health for Justice, Justice for Health” resonated with the recent upsurge of
first ever national drug survey report released by the

United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) indicating markers to be pushed at achieving
target five of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) three, “strengthen the prevention and
treatment of substance abuse, including narcotic and harmful use of alcohol” which needs to be
reviewed in the country as well as in the sub-region. The National Drug Survey released earlier
this year by UNODC shows that the drug problem in Nigeria is extremely serious, with drug
usage reported as being at twice the world average of 5.6%. It also makes one wonder which
society will be at peace with itself having one out of seven of its general population
corresponding to 14.3 million people (14.4%) of those aged between 15 and 64 years had used a
mind-altering substances in the past year for non-medical purposes. Women drug users cannot
be considered a hidden population anymore, as one in every four drug users in Nigeria is a
woman, while only 5% of those in treatment are women.
Little wonder that in many states of the country, there are no treatment centres for drug abuse
victims despite the fact that more people will be disabled by drug-related challenges than
complications arising from HIV/ AIDS, heart disease, accidents and wars combined by year 2020.

The images on our streets of mental patients who have a history of drugs should be enough
motivation for more informed policies, building rehabilitation centers and programmes that will
incorporate social activities to prevent drug abuse amongst youths. As we continue to combat
the drug epidemic, the government has done well by setting and supporting up the NDLEA,
Presidential Committee on Drug Abuse and Control, NAFDAC, and other agencies involved with
the war on drugs. But there should also be focus on how to disrupt their supply chains, protect
our borders from traffickers and control access to precursor chemicals. It behooves on the
government to intensify efforts on effective prosecution of drug barons in our society. Yusuf

International Day Against Drug Abuse And Illicit Trafficking: Theme, Significance And
Everything About Drug Abuse And Addiction

International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Drug Trafficking: The theme this year is "health
for justice, justice for health." It highlights that justice and health go hand in hand when it comes
to addressing drug problems.

HIGHLIGHTS

1. Drug addiction can land you in financial crisis

2. It can destroy your relationship with family and friends

3. It can severely harm your brain, memory and decision making

International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is observed on June 26. The theme
this year is "health for justice, justice for health". This theme underlines the importance of a
holistic approach that involves criminal justice, health, social service institutions and human
rights. On June 26 1987, the UN General Assembly decided to observe International Day against
Drug abuse and Illicit Trafficking or Anti-Drugs Day as an expression of its determination to
strengthen action and cooperation for achieving the goal of a society free of drug abuse. On this
day, various organisations, communities and individuals come together for raising awareness
about the major problem that illicit drugs cause in the society.

International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Drug trafficking theme and significance

The theme for this day highlights that justice and health go hand in hand when it comes to
addressing drug problems. In order to get effective responses to the drug problem across the
world, it is important to acquire accountable and inclusive institutions of criminal justice, health
and social services. All of these need to come together to provide effective solutions for
achieving drug control conventions, human rights obligations and sustainable development
goals.

On this day, individuals and non-profit organisations in the private sector are asked to get
involved in social media campaigns that raise awareness about the drug problem.

Drug abuse and addiction: what you should know

Drug abuse occurs when you use legal or illegal substance in a way that they aren't meant to be
used. You might be taken much more than a regular dose of pills that a prescribed to you. Or
worse, you are overusing pills that aren't even prescribed to you. Drug abuse is done when you
start feeling good doing it, or at ease, or you want to avoid reality. Unless you are addicted, you
are able to take control on these unhealthy habits or get rid of them altogether.
Drug addictions poses various health risks. It doesn't make you stop drug abuse despite financial
crisis, despite spoiling your relationship with loved ones.

It affects your brain in a way that it makes you want to repeat experiences that make you feel
good. It is this feeling that motivates you to do them again and again. Addictive drugs like
cocaine, heroin and other illicit ones flood your brain with dopamine. Dopamine is a drug that
triggers intense feeling of pleasure. This sense of pleasure makes other things less pleasurable,
including food, hanging out with friends and family, etc.

Over time, drug abuse can negatively harm your memory, decision making, judgement and the
ability to learn.

On this Anti-Drugs Day, let's pledge to raise more awareness about drug addiction and drug
abuse, and say 'No' to drugs now and forever.

The World Customs Organization (WCO) joins the international community to mark the United
Nations’ International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking on this 26 June 2019, and
welcomes this year’s theme of: Health for Justice, Justice for Health.

This year’s theme sends an important message: justice and health go hand in hand and the WCO
through its programs and initiatives, is at the forefront of this combat: making our world more
equal, stable and secure, a world where our communities are not affected by the impact of
organized crime actions.

This year’s theme comes also at an important moment: across the world drug production and
trafficking are expanding as never before and represent major concerns. As reported in the
latest WCO Illicit Trade Report: “As it is such a lucrative endeavor, drug trafficking constitutes
the flagship activity of organized crime. Among other things, organized crime threatens
international trade, encourages violence, causes health problems, embodies national public
safety issues and geopolitical challenges, and provides a constant source of funding for extremist
groups and terrorist networks”.

On this occasion WCO Secretary General Kunio Mikuriya stated that “the targets as set out by
the UN Sustainable Development Goals, should guide us in the fundamental actions to be taken
to build a peaceful and sustainable world where the rule of law is respected and promoted. We
have an arduous way forward and in order to be effective we need to work and stand together.”

International coordination and cooperation are pivotal to tackle the threat imposed by drug
trafficking. The challenge faced by Customs and its partner agencies is very serious, this is why
the WCO has set up a Drugs and precursors Programme which aims at countering global illegal
trade covering the cultivation, manufacturing, distribution and sale of substances which are
subject to drug restriction and prohibition laws. The Programme consists of several major
components:

 EU-WCO COLIBRI Project

  UNODC-WCO Container Control Programme

 Project Aircop

 Global Forum on Combating Illicit Drug Trafficking and Related Threats

 Global Canine Fora

 Operational activities.

The WCO reaffirms today its commitment to fight against organized crime in order to make the
world a better place for all and for future generations. To this regard, the WCO recently
launched an innovative long-term initiative funded by the European Union, the COLIBRI Project.
The innovative project is unique in its kind and targets specifically General Aviation which is a
fast and discreet mode of transport and represents many opportunities for organized crime and
illicit trafficking. The project's aim is to strengthen operational cooperation between Customs
and other law enforcement agencies on suspicious activities.

An essay is a composition that defends a position or opinion, also called a thesis, that has been
put forth by the author. Not only should an essay demonstrate your overall knowledge of the
broader subject, but it should demonstrate your insight into particular aspects of that subject. It
also should show that you performed extra and relevant research outside the course material to
broaden your knowledge and hone your argument.

Narrowing A Topic

Picking a topic out of a broader subject can be difficult. Pick a topic you can explore fully,
without picking one so broad that you try to cover too much information or one so narrow that
your writing and research options are limited. It can help to come up with some topic options
and review them with your professor. Many professors provide a list of topics for essays just for
this reason. An example of narrowing a topic would be choosing one or two pivotal scenes in a
novel and discussing setting, word choice and dialogue in relation to the larger theme of the
novel.

Thesis Development

You must develop a strong and clear thesis offering some original insight. Your thesis should be a
complete statement of your position in one or two sentences, including information on how you
will defend your position. Reading essays and picking out thesis statements will help you identify
and compose your own. You can always ask your professor to review yours and offer
suggestions. Your thesis does not have to be fully formed at the beginning of writing and
researching. Writing and researching it will help you develop it.

Write On Topic
How much you can cover will depend on the size of the essay, but regardless of the length, you
should always write concisely and on topic. A standard 1,500-word essay, for example, will
generally accommodate three to four paragraphs, not including the introduction and concluding
paragraph. Each paragraph should have its own topic that relates to and supports your thesis.
You should have no more than one or two quotes or paraphrased statements in support of your
position, not in place of your own thinking. Quotes and paraphrasing must have proper citation.

Introduction And Conclusion

Your introduction should introduce both the broader subject and your specific topic. If you have
written on a particular text, novel or poem, you must fully state the title and author. An
introduction should engage the reader, prompt him to keep reading and briefly describe how
you will develop your topic. Your thesis statement will come in the last lines of the introduction.
Your concluding paragraph should briefly recap your subject, your thesis and how you defended
your thesis.
