United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime
Committee Description
In 2021, nearly 300 million people worldwide used drugs—a number that continues to rise each year. What we face is not just a growing crisis, but an epidemic that demands urgent, coordinated action. The global community can no longer afford to turn a blind eye. It is up to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) to lead the charge.
Over the weekend, delegates will be challenged to draft comprehensive resolutions that present a unified front against drug trafficking. The issue is multifaceted, so precision and creativity are essential. Delegates may choose to tackle the crisis at its roots through international legal cooperation, constitutional mechanisms, and the development of educational and preventative programs aimed at dismantling drug systems institutionally. Their other option? Follow the money. Delegates can pursue economic solutions, providing benchmarks for long lasting drug reform based on economic incentivization and taxation.
Will you prioritize legal structure or economic pressure? The solutions start with you.
