The UNODC core goals are to better address illegal drug trafficking, international terrorism, criminal justice, and corruption. It is only through support, guidance, and research that it achieves these aims.
Every year, the UNODC releases The World Drug Report. The report estimates the amounts of drugs being produced and tracks trafficking. It tracks the use of heroin, cocaine, cannabis, and stimulants. It tries to identify the trends in the illegal drug market.
The committee has signed various drug treaties, all in hope of stopping transnational organized crime.
The committee has had various campaigns to educate the general public. They attempt to inspire younger audiences to avoid drugs. One of its more famous campaigns is the “Think AIDS.” Because drugs spread HIV/AIDS, they want to stop people from injecting drugs. Its slogan is “Think Before You Start...Before You Shoot... Before You Share.” The largest contributors to the UNODC's budget are nations that promote a zero tolerance drug policy like Sweden.
