UNODC Annual Report 2007

The UNODC Annual Report for 2007 (covering activities in 2006) provides an overview of the organization's activities worldwide. It shows the range of activities undertaken in the field and at headquarters to make the world safer from illicit drugs and international organized crime.

In 2006, UNODC's announcement of a record opium harvest in Afghanistan grabbed the world headlines and reinforced the Office's reputation for providing the gold standard for drug cultivation data. But UNODC also raised the alarm about growing cocaine use in Europe in 2006, paid special attention to the crime of trafficking in persons and worked to generate momentum against another global problem within its mandate: corruption.

"We live in a dangerous world, but together we have a better chance of confronting the evils of drugs, crime and terrorism," says Antonio Maria Costa, UNODC Executive Director, in his foreword to the Annual Report. "As this 2007 report demonstrates, in headquarters and through its field offices around the world, UNODC is working hard to live up to Member States' growing expectations. "
