The World Drug Report offers, as its name implies, a global overview of the drug issue. It contains information from many sources, which should help not only policy makers and scholars, but also the general public, to measure progress towards the ambitious goals that the General Assembly has set. This information suggests that, provided we do redouble our efforts, and do not relax our vigilance, we may at last be on our way to a world in which people can live their lives free from drug abuse, from drug trafficking, and from related crime and violence. |
