government’s statement of drug policy priorities released in April of last year, the Strategy outlines areas of work that include: one, prevention and early intervention two, harm reduction three, substance use disorder treatment four, building a recovery-ready nation five, domestic supply reduction six, international supply reduction seven, criminal justice and public safety and eight, data and research.
Saving lives is at the core of this strategy, which calls for urgent action to bend the curve on overdose deaths in the immediate term while outlining steps to reduce drug use and associated harms over the longer term.
In April 2022, the United States Office of National Drug Control Policy released the National Drug Control Strategy. Global drug trafficking threats are ever more pressing, and the need to safeguard our future and advance international cooperation to confront the unprecedented global synthetic drug crisis is increasingly clear. It is critical that this instrument be based on consensus and protect human rights while also preserving an interoperable, secure, and reliable internet. The United States looks forward to continuing negotiations on a path towards a fair and practical criminal justice instrument focused on international cooperation to combat cybercrime. The UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime have been the longstanding bases for international cooperation to investigate and prosecute cybercrime. We are a proud and active member of both the Commission on Narcotic Drugs and the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, as well as a strong supporter of UNODC’s technical assistance programming to address transnational crime around the world.Ĭybercrime is a direct threat to our collective security, and addressing this threat is a priority for the United States. The United States would first like to reiterate our support for the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), which plays a leading role in developing global responses to the threats posed by transnational organized crime, corruption, and illicit drugs. Chair, and for your leadership as chair of the Third Committee.
