This complicates the task of national and international drug control authorities and a series of multilingual dictionaries have been developed primarily to help these authorities. The first multilingual list of substances under international control published in 19581, was limited to narcotic drugs. In 19832, the first edition of the Multilingual Dictionary of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances under International Control (MLD) was published with extended the coverage to psychotropic substances. Subsequent editions (19933 and 20064) incorporate the data contained in the previous editions, together with the most recent information. The Multilingual Dictionary of Precursors and Chemicals Frequently Used in the Illicit Manufacture of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances under International Control, covering the scheduled substances listed in the tables of 1988 Convention, has been developed using the same principles, criteria and format applied to the Multilingual Dictionary of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances under International Control, and completes this set of international drug dictionaries. The four-part dictionary provides individual monographs on the substances under international control; an alphabetical cross- index of the names included in the monographs; bilingual lists of all scheduled substances in French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese and Russian, each translated from and to English5 and finally information on the international regime of control, providing details on the scheduling history and the control status of the substances concerned.Fri, 20 Nov 2009 4:45:26 PM CEThttp://www.unodc.org/documents/scientific/MLD-06-58676_Vol_2_ebook.pdf Narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances under international control appear in a variety of names, particularly in commerce and in technical literature. This complicates the task of national and international drug control authorities. TheMultilingual Dictionary of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances under International Control has been developed primarily to help those authorities, and every effort was made to make it as complete as possible. The first multilingual list of substances under international control covered only narcotic drugs and was published in 19581. The first edition of the MultilingualDictionary in its present form, covering both narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, was published in 19832 and was followed by a second edition in 19933. The present edition continues those updates, incorporating the data contained in the previous editions, together with the most recent information available on narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances under international control. A new and separate publication, the Multilingual Dictionary of Precursors and Essential Chemicals under International Control covering the substances listed in the 1988 Convention4, completes this set of international drug dictionaries. This third and revised edition of the Multilingual Dictionary of Narcotic Drugs andPsychotropic Substances under International Control uses the same principles and criteria applied to the 1993 edition, and the same format is retained: PART ONE provides individual monographs on the substances under international control, and PART TWO an alphabetical cross-index of the names included in the monographs. In addition, the present edition is now complemented with new Parts Three and Four: PART THREE contains bilingual lists of all scheduled substances in French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese and Russian, each translated from and to English.
