Drugs Crime and Terrorism

The Yearbook contains documentary materials of a legal character concerning the United Nations and related intergovernmental organizations (IGOs). Pursuant to resolution 1814 (XVII) of 18 December 1962, the General Assembly requested the Secretary-General to publish a juridical yearbook which would include certain documentary materials of a legal character concerning the United Nations and related intergovernmental organizations as presented in an outline annexed to the resolution. The United Nations Juridical Yearbook has since been published on an annual basis reviewing legal developments starting from 1963. In 1972, the General Assembly further refined the publication's outline, which since then has been made up of three substantive parts, divided into eight chapters covering different legal themes together with a fourth part containing an extensive bibliography.

UNODC provides global information on narcotics. Data have multiple sources. Member States regularly submit to UNODC statistics on drugs. Other data are collected through national surveys implemented by UNODC in cooperation with national governments or are compiled from scientific literature. It also applies scientific methods to maximize the comparability of the data and estimate regional and global statistics.

The Global Study on Homicide 2013 is based on comprehensive data from more than 200 countries/territories, and examines and analyses patterns and trends in homicide at the global, regional, national and sub-national levels. Such analysis is fundamental to understanding the various factors and dynamics that drive homicide, so that measures can be developed to reduce violent crime. The Study provides a typology of homicide, including homicide related to crime, coexistence-related homicide, and socio-political homicide. The nature of crime in several countries emerging from conflict, the role of various mechanisms in killing, and the response of the criminal justice system to homicide are also analysed. A further chapter examines homicide at the sub-national level, and includes analysis at the city-level for selected global cities.

Actualmente, hay un debate a nivel mundial sobre “la política idónea en materia de drogas”. La Junta Internacional de Fiscalización de Estupefacientes (JIFE) participará en este debate a la luz de su mandato de vigilar la aplicación y el cumplimiento de los tres tratados de fiscalización internacional de drogas. La Asamblea General ha decidido celebrar en abril de 2018 un período extraordinario de sesiones sobre el problema mundial de las drogas a fin de examinar los progresos realizados en la aplicación de la Declaración Política y el Plan de Acción sobre Cooperación Internacional en Favor de una Estrategia Integral y Equilibrada para Contrarrestar el Problema Mundial de las Drogas, de 2009, y de evaluar los logros y los retos en la tarea de hacer frente al problema mundial de las drogas, en el marco de los tres tratados de fiscalización internacional de drogas y otros instrumentos pertinentes de las Naciones Unidas. El período extraordinario de sesiones, en el que se examinará la política mundial relativa a las drogas, debería dar lugar a una revisión y un replanteamiento de las prioridades mundiales de la lucha contra las drogas y promover la cooperación mundial para combatir el uso indebido de drogas y la delincuencia relacionada con las drogas, afirmando al mismo tiempo que se requerirá el correspondiente compromiso político y jurídico a nivel mundial para que el mundo pueda resolver esas cuestiones.

Le rapport annuel de l'Organe international de contrôle des stupéfiants (OICS) est axé, cette année, plus spécifiquement sur les conséquences économiques de l’abus de substances. Le rapport se divise en 4 chapitres: Conséquences économiques de l'abus de substances; Fonctionnement du système international du contrôle des drogues; Analyse de la situation mondiale; Recommandations à l'intention des gouvernements, des organismes des Nations Unies et des autres organisations internationales et régionales compétentes.

El Boletín es una publicación continua desde 1949 que informa sobre aquellos avances en el control de drogas a nivel local, nacional, regional e internacional que pueden ser beneficiosos para la comunidad internacional. Este número da un repaso histórico al sistema para el control de drogas, uno de los sistemas multilaterales consensuados más antiguos que existen. El sistema tiene sus orígenes en los esfuerzos realizados hace un siglo para combatir el mayor problema de abuso de sustancias al que nunca se ha enfrentado el planeta: la epidemia de opio china. Tomando ese hecho como punto de partida, el presente informe describe a grandes rasgos la creación de los mecanismos internacionales destinados a resolver los problemas relacionados con las drogas ilícitas.

The present Manual presents practical approaches and measures that can be put in place, particularly in the justice system and in collaboration with other sectors, to prevent child recruitment and exploitation by terrorist and violent extremist groups. Pursuing the common goal of preventing child recruitment by terrorist and violent extremist groups involves working together, not only within the justice system but also with other systems such as child protection, education and health, to design early interventions for children at risk and ensure that these children and their families receive the protection, assistance and support that they need.

This report summarizes the actions taken by Governments and by the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) on precursors to prevent chemical diversion and to implement the provisions of the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of 1988. The Report contains an account of the activities carried out during the reporting period; provides an overview of the major trends and developments in licit trade and trafficking in and illicit use of individual chemicals; contains a summary of seizures, cases of suspicious and stopped shipments, and diversions or attempted diversions; and details activities associated with illicit drug manufacture.

This publication provides statistics and assessments of annual medical and scientific requirements for psychotropic substances, levels of consumption of groups of the substances, prohibitions and restrictions on their export and import. This trilingual publication is in English, French and Spanish.

While the supply side dimensions of the international drug problem have been recognized for decades, the demand side has traditionally been considered a domestic issue, not conducive to international assessment. The present report, based on data obtained primarily from the annual reports questionnaires (ARQ) received by UNDCP up to February 1999, presents not only the supply side data but also the demand side data, in an effort to give a balanced approach in the assessment of the drug problem. In addressing the global trends in illicit drug supply and trafficking, the report discusses cultivation, manufacture, trafficking routes, methods of transportation and seizures. On the demand side, the report focuses on global trends, the extent of drug abuse, drug abuse among youth and prison populations, modes of intake and costs and the consequences of drug abuse. Comprehensive statistical tables, presented for multiple years, will greatly facilitate comparative studies.

Intentional homicide is serious in nature and recorded by multiple data sources (police and public health). As such, it is widely accepted as one of the most accurate, reliable and comparable crime indicators for world crime trends and patterns. Using data from the United Nations Surveys on Crime Trends and the Operations of Criminal Justice Systems (UN-CTS) and the latest homicide statistics dataset of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, this publication provides a global overview on levels and trends of intentional homicide and its relationship with, and impact on, human development. It also examines the links between homicide and some forms of organized crime, including drug trafficking, as well as the use of firearms. The study describes characteristics of homicide victims and perpetrators (including from the gender perspective) as well as provides detailed data on homicide location.

Are women any less corrupt than men? This publication is a first, comprehensive foray into this complex, multilayered subject that affects every society and country in the world differently. It underlines the importance of understanding how national, cultural and social norms interact and shape corrupt practices. With the United Nations Convention against Corruption as cornerstone, the publication highlights how many of the gender dimensions of corruption are not sufficiently addressed in national contexts. It examines the evolution and relevance of the key international instruments and emphasises the importance of evidence-based policy making. It also explores how gender equality policies can have a positive effect in preventing and countering corruption and, vice versa.

The Republic of Yemen has been embroiled in a violent conflict since September 2014 when Houthi forces took military control of the capital city Sana’a and displaced the government of interim President Abdrabuh Mansour Hadi. According to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Yemen’s protracted conflict has claimed at least 377.000 lives, most of them civilians, and plunged Yemen, already the poorest country of the Arabian Peninsula, into a complex humanitarian catastrophe. The Houthis appear to have used a lull in the fighting to increase their military arsenals, displaying large numbers of sophisticated weapon systems in a series of military parades in Sana’a and Hodeida on the anniversaries of their “revolution” and amongst other holidays in September 2022 and 2023. Following the outbreak of the Gaza conflict in October 2023, these weapons were used to launch attacks on Israeli territory and on commercial ships, posing a threat to the vital shipping lines between Suez and the Bab al-Mandab. The continued threats and targeting of civilian vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden and the subsequent decision by the United States of America and allied Member States to deploy a naval mission in the Red Sea to protect international shipping ended the period of relative calm and brought the conflict in Yemen back into the international spotlight. The subsequent launch of strikes onto targets inside Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen by the United States and United Kingdom as part of a campaign to counter the attacks on civilian shipping has added further complexity to the situation.

The Global Study on Homicide 2019 is based on comprehensive data, and examines and analyses patterns and trends in homicide at the global, regional, national and sub-national levels. Such analysis is fundamental to understanding the various factors and dynamics that drive homicide, so that measures can be developed to reduce violent crime. The Study provides a typology of homicide, including homicide related to crime, coexistence-related homicide, and socio-political homicide. The study shows that the overall number of people who suffered a violent death as a result of homicide increased in the past quarter of a century, from 395,542 in 1992 to 464,000 in 2017. However, because the global population has risen faster than the increase in recorded homicide victims, the overall risk of being killed in homicides has declined steadily. The global homicide rate, measured as the victims of homicide per 100,000 people, declined from 7.2 in 1992, to 6.1 in 2017.

El Informe Global sobre Corrupción en el Deporte ofrece por primera vez una visión exhaustiva de la corrupción en el ámbito deportivo yrevela la escala, expresión y complejidad de las redes criminales en el deporte a nivel nacional e internacional. Si bien la corrupción en el deporte no es un fenómeno nuevo -se han documentado actividades fraudulentas en el manejo de instituciones y competiciones deportivas desde los antiguos Juegos Olímpicos- en las dos últimas décadas se ha producido un aumento sustancial de la delincuencia en este ámbito. La globalización, la enorme circulación de dinero, el rápido crecimiento de las apuestas legales e ilegales y los avances tecnológicos que transforman la manera de practicar y consumir el deporte son factores que lo vuelven particularmente vulnerable a la manipulación y lo hacen cada vez más atractivo para las redes delictivas que buscan explotarlo para obtener beneficios ilícitos.
