INCB: The Global Drugs Scene Available to Purchase

The International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) — a mechanism established under the international drug control treaties and consisting of 13 members elected by the Economic and Social Council — is mandated to publish an annual report on the current and emerging drug control situation. Each year's report comments on a special theme; freedom from pain and suffering is the focus of the report released on 23rd February, 2000.
