International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking

Today is also The International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.

In 1987, the UN General Assembly decided to observe 26 June as the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking as an expression of its determination to strengthen action and cooperation to achieve the goal of an international society free of drug abuse.
