UNODC Annual Report 2008

Drugs, crime and terrorism remain three of the greatest threats to the peace, security and well-being of humanity. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is therefore in high demand.

Growing confidence in the ability of UNODC to help States confront these challenges was reflected in a healthy increase in voluntary contributions in 2007. Recognition of the valuable work that the Office is carrying out is growing in the media, the public and among peer organizations.

The work carried out by UNODC in 2007 reaffirmed the merits of the Office's three-pronged approach, which is based on research that ensures that policy is evidence-based, a strong legal framework that helps States fight drugs, crime and terrorism according to the rule of law and an operational response that is made possible by the political ownership of the States concerned, technical assistance from UNODC headquarters and the involvement of the Office's worldwide network of field offices.
