Report of the International Narcotics Control Board for 2016

This year’s report, together with the annual report on precursors, provides an up-to-date analysis on developments in global drug control, as well as recommendations to Governments and relevant international and regional organizations. In the light of the discussions surrounding the thirtieth special session of the General Assembly, the Board’s recommendations in our 2016 publications are aimed at helping States take effective measures and implement comprehensive plans to tackle drug-related challenges. In the report on precursors,2 for example, guidance and information are provided to enable States to enhance information-sharing, develop multilateral operational cooperation and implement measures for preventing the diversion of chemicals used in the illicit manufacture of drugs.
