VIENNA, Austria – March 2019: On 18 March, the UNODC, together with WHO and INCB, launched the UN Toolkit on Synthetic Drugs during the 62nd Session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs. The UN Toolkit on Synthetic Drugs, part of the UNODC Integrated Strategy on the Global Opioid Crisis, is one of the measures taken by the UN to respond to the opioid crisis. The Toolkit offers a wide range of electronic resources provided by offices and organizations within the UN system. It sets focus on practical tools to respond to challenges related to the non-medical use of drugs under international control as well as to their illicit manufacture and trafficking. The Toolkit is meant for experts and practitioners working in fields such as health, prevention, treatment, drug policy, drug control, including law enforcement, customs and border control, and forensic laboratories.
