A new short-film contest has been scripted by UNODC in partnership with the Office of the Comptroller General of Brazil.Fri, 09 Oct 2009 2:56:06 PM CESThttp://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/about-unodc/speeches/2009-07-10.htmlIn my view, it is both. Change for the better has happened. Yet, more is necessary and possible. No doubt, over the past ten years we have learned and demonstrated that drugs can be contained by improving health, there can be justice where there has been crime, and security can prevail over terror. But these improvements do not come by themselves: we need to nurture, foster and promote them with unmitigated commitment. And then we have to build operational alliances among Member States, and with all other stakeholders.

The arguments are by now well known: too many people are going to jail and not to treatment. Eradicating the supply of illicit drugs is meaningless without reducing demand. Drug control has spawned a massive criminal black market. Some even say that the costs of prohibition far outweigh the benefits (although there is no body count of people who haven't died thanks to drug control versus those who have been killed in the crossfire).Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:29:52 PM CESThttp://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/frontpage/2009/September/how-companies-are-dealing-with-corruption.html17 September 2009 - A new publication launched in Vienna today profiles the anti-corruption policies and measures of the Fortune Global 500.
