The General Assembly, on 7 December, 1987, decided to mark 26 June as the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking by resolution 42/112. The assembly made the decision to observe this day as an expression of its resolution to make the international society free of drug abuse. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, people are now more aware of their health, protective measures to stay fit, and safeguarding each other. Amid the pandemic, a sense of solidarity and need to ensure health care for everyone continues to rise. Every individual should try to do their part by knowing and sharing genuine facts along with their solutions. They can combat misinformation by sharing information only from verified sources like UNODC.

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) releases a World Drug Report every year. The report provides data and facts about the intensity of drug problem around the world. Moreover it also provides practical solutions to tackle these problems. According to UN's website, UNODC also 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.

Drugs are legally banned in most parts of the world, yet its consumption and trade increase every year. Drug abuse is not the right thing; addiction and uncontrolled usage tear apart the consumer and everyone related to him.


The widespread consumption of drugs, especially among the youth of society, causes various mental and physical distortions. Not only among the teenagers an d adolescents, but drug use is also common among middle-aged people, putting their family and livelihood at stake.

Drug Trafficking implies the illegal practice of buying and selling drugs. People involved in the trade remain undercover and engage themselves in the unethical activity of supplying drugs to the willing people.

To put such practices on hold and to minimize the consumption of drugs (unless when medically prescribed), the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is celebrated.

Drugs have severe impacts and consequences on the life of the consumersโ€™. Over-dosage can sometimes lead to death and other fatal injuries. Once one falls in the pit hole of drug addiction, it becomes increasingly difficult to retreat. Keeping in mind all such factors, such a day is celebrated on June 26.
