International mechanisms to prevent and control drug trafficking

The aim of the current multilateral conventions is to ensure strategic international cooperation that represses the unlawful traffics of drugs and to adopt suitable measures of preventing drug traffecing. Thus, these instruments have addressed the production, the commerce and the use of drugs and other substances.In compliance with the international treaties, the number of countries that took concrete steps towards strengthening their national drug control capacities has increased. These international instruments have also set out the requirements for the availability of internationally controlled substances for medical purposes. This paper argues that governments implementation of these conventions has contributed to the prevention of diversion and almost complete suspension.
