International Day Against Drug Abuse And Illicit Trafficking is observed as a mark to strengthen the resolve of an international society free of drug abuse.
On this day, people, communities, organisations across the globe try to raise awareness about the problems that occur due to illicit drugs.
The date of June 26 was chosen after the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution regarding it on December 7, 1987.
The theme of the day this year is “Better Knowledge for Better Care”.
- The main idea behind this theme is to stress upon the need of improving the understanding of the world drug problem.
- The theme also deals with how better knowledge about this issue can lead to greater international cooperation for countering its impact on health, governance and security.
