1945

2021 was overshadowed by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, which continued to have a grave impact on the global community, causing immense suffering to individuals, placing a considerable burden upon health systems and slowing progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The system for international trade in controlled substances for medical, scientific and industrial purposes was also affected and its functioning was tested by the pandemic and by measures to control the spread of the virus. The International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) has continued to work with Member States and international organizations towards achieving the objectives of the international drug control conventions. The Board is focusing on all areas of work that can contribute to progress in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, especially Goal 3, on health and well-being, and Goal 16, on peace, justice and strong institutions.
