Costa's Corner

Welcome to my corner of the UNODC website.

I have a fascinating job that brings me into contact with interesting people, tragic and inspirational stories, and world-changing events.

 Whenever possible, I want to share my views with you - to enable you to benefit from my experience in confronting the challenges of drugs and crime.

I hope that my regular columns and the thoughts of guest contributors will enrich global thinking and action on how to prevent crime and control drugs so that we can achieve security and justice for all.

Watch this space!
