At the beginning of the 20th century. drug addiction has spread its destructive influence over most peoples of the world. Its scope exceeded all the fears of doctors and the public, who understood the full force of the impending danger.

Historical facts The world community, frightened by the rapid spread of drugs across the planet, began an active struggle to allow the use of drugs exclusively for medical purposes as painkillers. The beginning of this struggle is considered to be the Shanghai Opium Commission (1909). This commission attempted to develop measures to prevent the illegal penetration of drugs from Asian regions into Europe and the United States. In December 1911, the International Opium Conference took place in The Hague. During the conference, the first Drug Convention was prepared and adopted. For the first time, it identified the types of drugs whose use was placed under international control. Representatives of the participating states assumed a number of commitments to strengthen the fight against drug abuse. It was especially noted that in all countries participating in this conference laws will be issued on the responsibility and punishment of persons for acts related to the illegal possession of drugs. Since 1946, control over drugs (their production, distribution and consumption) came under the auspices of the UN. In 1961, the UN International Conference was held in New York, at which the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs was adopted and the UN Narcotics Control Committee was created, endowed with broad organizational monitoring and analytical functions. The 20th session of the UN General Assembly, which took place on June 8-10, 1998, was devoted to the fight against drug trafficking. 15 presidents and a number of prime ministers of various countries took part in its work. In his speech at this session, the President of the French Republic, Jacques Chirac, emphasized that the spread of this evil (drug addiction) is occurring at an alarming rate, with drugs choosing their victims among young people. Once they have taken possession of the young, they lead them to death. The President noted that drug traffickers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, distributing drugs throughout the globe and penetrating all levels of society. |
Drug addiction is a disease of the young. She knocks out the most capable people from normal life.
In Russia, as elsewhere in the world, young people predominate among drug users.
In the last ten to twelve years, the government of our country and various public organizations have taken certain measures, indicating that Russian society and the state have begun to realize that the danger of mass drug addiction among Russia's youth really exists.
In 1993, the country adopted for the first time Concept of state policy on drug control in the Russian Federation, which assessed drug addiction in Russia: “Drug abuse and illicit trafficking have acquired a global scale in the last decade and have a very serious impact on the socio-psychological atmosphere in society, negatively affecting the economy, politics and law and order.”
In June 1995, the Government of the Russian Federation approved the Federal Target Program “Comprehensive Measures to Combat Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking for 1995-1997.”
In 1997, the State Duma of the Russian Federation adopted Law “On Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances”. This law came into force in early 1998.
On March 2, 1998, parliamentary hearings “On urgent measures to combat the spread of drug addiction in Russia” were held in the State Duma of the Russian Federation.
On September 17, 1998, the President of the Russian Federation signed the Order “On measures to strengthen the fight against illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their abuse.”
On November 3, 1998, the Committee on Women, Family and Youth Affairs of the State Duma of the Russian Federation held parliamentary hearings “Drug addiction in Russia among children and youth.” A corresponding Decree of the President of the Russian Federation was issued.

The presidential decree and documents of parliamentary hearings identified specific measures to counter the spread of drugs and drug addiction, which ensured the practical implementation of the Federal Law “On Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances” (1997).
This Federal Law established the legal basis for state policy in the field of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and in the field of combating their illicit trafficking in order to protect the health of citizens, state and public security. The law clearly prohibits the use of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances without a doctor’s prescription. The provisions of this law are extremely important for the fate of people living today and the national security of Russia. For the first time, the law provides a clear answer to the question: where do we want to live - in a drug-free society or in a drug-free society?
Let us note that no law by itself will completely solve all drug addiction problems. This is so far only a demonstration of the state’s intentions to restore order in the sphere of legal drug trafficking and the official proclamation of a course towards the most severe counteraction to their illegal trafficking.

IN Criminal Code of the Russian Federation Penalties are provided for actions related to narcotic and psychotropic substances.
IN Article 228 It has been determined that the illegal manufacture, acquisition, storage, transfer of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances may be punishable by imprisonment for up to three years. Article 229 states that theft or extortion of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances may be punishable by imprisonment for a term of three to seven years.
IN Article 230 it is stated that inducement to consume narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances may be punishable by imprisonment for a term of three to twelve years.
IN Article 231 It has been determined that the illegal cultivation of prohibited plants containing narcotic substances may be punishable by imprisonment for a term of two to eight years.
IN Article 232 it is said that organizing or maintaining dens for the consumption of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances may be punishable by imprisonment for a term of up to seven years.
Article 233 states that illegal issuance or falsification of prescriptions or other documents giving the right to receive narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances is punishable by imprisonment for up to two years.
The Federal Law “On Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances” (1997) and the corresponding articles of the Criminal Code constituted the regulatory framework for the policy of combating drug trafficking.
It is possible to radically solve the problem of drug addiction and break its aggression against Russia only through joint actions of the state, society and every individual (every citizen) of our country.
It is necessary that each of you deeply understand the incompatibility of drugs with either your health or a prosperous life. You must clearly understand that you do not need drugs in any life situations (except as prescribed by a doctor), since, apart from personal tragedy for you and your family, they will not bring anything.
Anyone at any age can develop a complete aversion to drugs. After all, if there is no demand for drugs, there will be no supply. Drug traffickers thrive on well-organized advertising of the appeal of drug use.
Remember!
Drug dealers only want money and have absolutely no interest in your health or the tragic consequences of drug use.
Don’t fall into the deadly trap; don’t believe anyone who claims that you can recover from drug addiction if you want. It's a lie! Never try to try. Life is more valuable than any experiments with drugs.

We spoke with the UN Resident Coordinator in Tajikistan, Alexander Zuev, about how this country can contribute to achieving the SDGs.
Artem Pashchenko began the conversation with a question about what Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are relevant for Tajikistan today.
AZ: I must say that, in principle, all SDGs are important and relevant for the prospects for the socio-economic development of the country.
However, if we highlight, then, of course, Goal 1 related to the fight against poverty is very important. Tajikistan, despite the positive economic dynamics of recent years, especially in the period after the end of the civil war, still remains a country where the poverty level is quite high. It has decreased significantly in accordance with the MDGs, and this Goal has been achieved - over the past 10 years, the poverty level has decreased from 82 percent to 34 percent. But still, he is very tall.
Goal 3 is very important, because if we talk about the MDGs, then, unfortunately, not all of them were achieved in Tajikistan. Much progress has been made on many of them, but SDG Goal 3, which is related to the goal of reducing maternal mortality, has not been achieved and remains an important priority.
Goal 5 – development of gender equality – is also important; it, unfortunately, is also one of the few areas where the country has failed to achieve the MDGs, in contrast to reducing poverty and reducing child and infant mortality rates, where Tajikistan has achieved success. In the area of gender equality, especially women's participation in political life and decision-making at all levels, the problem remains.
Goal 6, related to the rational use of water resources, and Goal 7, related to access to modern energy supplies, are of exceptional importance. Unfortunately, over the past 5-6 years the situation remains very difficult - in winter, especially in rural areas, most of the population has access to electricity only 2-3 hours a day. This, of course, is completely unsatisfactory and therefore this task is formulated at the state level, both the national development priority and the SDGs will reinforce it.
I think it is very important to highlight the importance of Goal 11 to make human settlements safer, more resilient and more sustainable. This is due to the fact that Tajikistan is very susceptible to a significant number of different natural disasters, these are earthquakes, given that it is a seismic zone, a mountainous country, mudflows (only this summer there were four large incidents with the destruction of a large number of houses and, unfortunately, with human casualties .
In winter there are very large snow avalanches that fall on populated areas and roads, and in summer there are very intense droughts in certain areas, and where high mountain rivers flow, there are often floods due to the melting of glaciers, which also cause great damage country.
In this regard, Goal 13 related to climate change is also very relevant. The glaciers of Tajikistan are a source of increased danger due to the fact that their melting is increasing with climate change, which threatens mudflows and avalanches. There is, without a doubt, the fact that over the past 20-30 years the country has lost almost a third of its natural eternal glaciers that feed the main rivers of Central Asia. All this is a matter of concern.
And of course, the issues formulated in Goal 16 to create a society that provides legal aid, access to justice, independence of justice and guarantee of human rights remain a very high priority for the UN’s work in Tajikistan, for donors, and, of course, for the government, with whom we cooperate very actively in this area.
AP: How will achieving the SDGs help transform socio-economic life in the country?
AZ: It was a very lucky coincidence. The fact is that the SDGs are planned from 2016 to 2030. For the same period, a National Development Strategy is being formulated (this process is now ending).
It should be noted that Tajikistan is very committed to cooperation with the UN; it supports international goals, both previous and future ones. Therefore, we are now working very closely with the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, with the government as a whole, to ensure that the main guidelines, objectives, and indicators that are reflected in the SDGs are adapted and included as main guidelines in the country’s development goals.
As I said, it is a fortunate coincidence that the cycle of both strategies - global and national - coincides.
We analyzed how the MDGs were implemented, and the national strategy directly indicated their priority for Tajikistan, and we can state with satisfaction that most of the MDGs were achieved in the country. But there are still some areas where continuity with the SDGs will be very important. Of course, in this area, we, the government, and the people of Tajikistan will have to cooperate a lot.
AP: What contribution can Tajikistan make to achieving the global Sustainable Development Goals?
AZ: I think that the best and most effective contribution is the implementation of the SDGs at the national level and further socio-economic progress for the people and the country, improving the quality of economic growth, solving social problems, preventing forced migration, which is a very big social problem for Tajikistan.
But there is another great contribution that Tajikistan not only can make, but is already making. He introduced it before when we were working on the MDGs and will continue to do so now.
On September 27, a special high-level event will be held in New York, chaired by the President of Tajikistan and the Prime Minister of Thailand, on the sidelines of the UN Summit on Sustainable Development. It will be devoted to the development of water cooperation, problems of water use, transboundary water flows and many other aspects related to water. Tajikistan is a recognized leader in the world here.
In June in Dushanbe, together with the UN Secretary General, we held a large high-level conference. It was attended by many heads of state, ministers, UN leaders - UNDP administrator Helen Clark, executive secretaries of ESCAP and UNECE, several heads of government of neighboring countries - Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, etc.
Tajikistan, indeed, will support Goal 6, since it has traditionally supported all aspects of water cooperation, came up with great initiatives, draft resolutions of the General Assembly on these issues. We are confident that he will continue to do this and this will be appreciated by the UN, member states, but, most importantly, all the country’s partners within the framework of organizing the efficient use of water and transboundary water cooperation.
