Resolution 78/131, on synthetic drugs, which has just been adopted by the General Assembly, confirms the international drug control mechanism based on three United Nations conventions, is balanced overall in requiring a reduction of both supply and demand, and makes it clear th…

Mrs. Arab Bafrani
In the fight against illicit drug trafficking and drug abuse, my country has always been at the forefront. While losing their lives in this struggle, Iranian law enforcement forces have fought courageously and with dedication. The Islamic Republic of Iran promotes a drug-free world. The statistics of recent seizures by Iran’s anti-narcotic police, particularly since 2021, show the rampant increas…
Mr. González Behmaras
Cuba has a zero-tolerance policy on the production, consumption and trafficking of drugs, the essential pillar of which is a preventative approach that guarantees that our country is neither a producer nor a transit country for illicit drugs. We are firmly committed to the international legal framework for drug control, which must continue to be made-up of the three United Nations conventions on …
Mr. Bulgaru

Mr. Weerasekara
Sri Lanka gives high priority to the strict application of laws against the production, distribution, possession and illicit manufacture of and trafficking in synthetic drugs. It must be accepted without demur that easy access to such illicit drugs leads to increased abuse, a threat to public order and serious prejudice to national security. We cannot at any cost compromise in any way our policie…
Mr. Pilipenko

Ms. Rizk
Egypt considers that the world drug problem constitutes a serious threat to public health and national security, in addition to its dangerous social ramifications and negative impacts on individuals, families, societies and nations. It has to be addressed and countered from the prism of crime prevention. The illicit manufacture of and trafficking in synthetic drugs does indeed pose a grave challe…
