  1. “Lessons learned in one place can often be of great use and help in another. In that context, the knowledge and expertise of UNODC are of exceptional value, and Member States should benefit from them. In conclusion, I would once again like to reiterate that this discussion in the Security Council is timely and very important, and we hope that the results of today's deliberations will energize the concrete activities necessary to combat illegal drug trafficking and related crimes in Africa. Positive results in this struggle on the African continent will in turn contribute to global action to build security and justice in the region.”

  2. “I should also like to stress that we have established close cooperation with the customs and border-control services of neighbouring countries and initiated the conclusion of bilateral agreements on police and judicial cooperation based on the common understanding that tackling drug trafficking crimes requires a regional approach. We believe that it is crucial to cooperate, exchange information and experiences, and promote good practices in confronting this issue. In that regard, Bosnia and Herzegovina fully supports the joint efforts undertaken by the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and other relevant United Nations organs and agencies in tackling the numerous security risks caused by drug trafficking in many countries and regions, particularly in Africa.”

  3. “In that sense, we fully support the work of the Economic Community of West African States in promoting and fostering regional cooperation in West Africa aimed at countering drug proliferation. Although we are discussing the situation in Africa, similar problems are occurring in other regions as well. I should also like to use this opportunity to state that my country has undertaken important legislative, judicial and structural reforms aimed at strengthening our national drug control system and fighting illicit trafficking and related crimes. The Parliamentary Assembly of my country has also adopted a national strategy on the supervision of narcotic drugs and the prevention and suppression of the abuse of narcotic drugs, and a plan of action for its implementation.”

  4. “On the other hand, technical assistance to Member States - especially to developing countries with fragile political and economic situations i is crucial to strengthening national capacities to create efficient drug control frameworks, to preventing and counteracting illicit drug abuse, and to providing access to drug dependence treatments and creating an environment favourable to reintegration and alternative development. My delegation would like to join those who have acknowledged the seriousness of this problem and to point out that, given its nature, it is clear that no single country acting alone can address this problem successfully. While building the proper judicial and police systems in individual countries is of paramount importance, cooperation at the subregional and regional level is equally important.”

  5. “In this context, I would like to underline the importance of the ratification and implementation of international legal treaties. Of particular importance is the need to provide national drug control information that will enable United Nations treaty-based and governing bodies to monitor patterns in drug abuse, to make realistic impact assessments and to develop global and regional policies to fight illicit drugs and crime.”

  6. “At the outset, I should like to thank you, Sir, for having organized the debate on this important topic, with particular attention to its repercussions in Africa. Bosnia and Herzegovina aligns itself with the statement delivered by the representative of Sweden on behalf of the European Union. The interrelationship between drugs, organized crime, human trafficking and corruption represents a universal challenge that endangers the economies, security and political stability of all countries of the world. These threats, which do not respect borders, require each country and the international community to make additional efforts to enhance multilateral partnerships and cooperation to properly address this modern scourge. Enhanced knowledge of trends is a prerequisite for effective policymaking and operational responses.”
