UNODC

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) serves as a global leader in the struggle against illicit drugs, international crime and terrorism. Established in 1997 through a merger between the United Nations Drug Control Programme and the Centre for International Crime Prevention, the organization operates from its headquarters in Vienna and maintains an extensive network of field offices across every continent. By providing legal assistance, technical cooperation and research to member states, UNODC works to strengthen criminal justice systems, promote the rule of law and safeguard public health from the evolving threats of the modern world.
