United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime is concerned with combatting international crime and helping individual nations in their fight against drugs. Although not a UN committee, the UNODC plays an integral role in reducing international crime and terrorism and is extremely relevant in this globalized age.
