1. In June 1998, the UN General Assembly of member states held a Special Session devoted to countering the world drug problem, aiming to increase attention to the issue of drugs and, some thought, create a drug-free world in ten years. The member states agreed a Political Declaration committing themselves to work towards eliminating or reducing significantly the illicit production of coca, cannabis and opium, and the illicit manufacture and trafficking of psychotropic substances, as well as achieving significant and measurable results in the field of drug demand reduction by 2008.
