CND Res.43/11. | Provisions regarding travellers under treatment involving the use of medical preparations containing narcotic drugs* |
The Commission on Narcotic Drugs, Recalling the primary aim of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961,30 which is to confine the use of narcotic drugs to legitimate medical and scientific purposes, Recalling further article 4 of the Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971,31 concerning special provisions regarding the scope of control, including authorization of the carrying by international travellers of small quantities of preparations, other than those listed in Schedule I of that Convention, where such preparations are for personal use and have been lawfully obtained, Noting the increasing mobility of human beings due to the development of the means of transport, Underlining the importance of the management of pain associated with a medical condition, Aware of continuing developments in the treatment of opiate addiction, 1. Requests the International Narcotics Control Board to take into account the problem of travellers being treated by means of medical preparations containing narcotic drugs; 2. Invites the International Narcotics Control Board, with the participation of Member States, to examine provisions which, in the same way as those contained in the Convention on Psychotropic Substances of 1971,31 might facilitate and enhance security in cases involving travellers who carry medical preparations containing narcotic drugs and who maintain the continuity of their treatment in their host countries. 1192nd meeting */ For the discussion, see chap.
