The International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking
Today is the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. To our delight, countries around the world are joining hands to combat illicit drug abuse.
Sixteen days ago, the General Assembly of the United Nations concluded a three day Special Session on fighting the world drug problem, sounding a clarion call for an unprecedented worldwide war against drugs.
As mankind is about to embrace a new millennium, the drug issue takes on an even greater urgency. Despite of strengthened anti drug efforts of many countries, the
spread of illicit drugs averages US$400 billion each year. Illicit drug consumption
involves about 3 percent of the world’s population. Statistics indicate as many as 100,000 people die from drugs every year worldwide, and 10 million drug users are
deprived of the capability to work.
The drug issue has direct bearing on social stability, social security and the destiny of mankind as a whole. All countries in the world should be fully aware of the pressing and demanding task of combating drugs and take concrete and effective measures to wipe out the evil. The Chinese Government has always paid great attention to drug control and taken an integrated approach to deal with drug abuse and drug trafficking through legal, political, administrative, economic, cultural, educational, and
other means. A recent national drug prevention exhibition staged in Beijing drew
half a million visitors so far. The exhibition was intended to spotlight the damage
drugs inflict upon society and family.
Out of ignorance, or driven by their desire for stimulus, or simply influenced by drug users, a growing number of people, especially youngsters, have fallen victim to drugs. Of the drug addicts registered throughout the country,80 percent of them are youths. Therefore, much still remains to be done in China’s anti drug campaign. On top of the agenda, there is the need to raise people’s awareness of the harm of drugs, to provide more help for drug addicts to get rid of the unhealthy habit and to enforce stricter laws for drug related crimes.
We hope governments around the world will take their due responsibilities in international antidrug cooperation, and spread the net of justice over every link of thedrug market, so that a drug-free world will be created for our future generations.
