The Economic and Social Council, Recalling that the commentary on the 1931 Convention52/ was very helpful to Governments and international organs in applying this treaty, and that the model codes for the application of the 1925 and 1931 Conventions53/ were of considerable value to a number of Governments as a guide in framing legislative and administrative measures for the application of the Conventions in their territories, Bearing in mind that the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961, is a comprehensive document embracing many and varied aspects of international narcotics control activities, Being of the opinion that there will be a great and lasting need for a uniform interpretation and application of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961, 1. Requests the Secretary-General to prepare a legal commentary on the Single Convention, giving an interpretation of the provisions of the Convention in the light of the relevant conference proceedings and other material; 2.
