Does this organization still exist, or was it merged into the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime? Rad Racer 15:45, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- OK, I found the answer from The Mechanics and Dynamics of the UN System for International Drug Control, David R. Bewley-Taylor B. Sc (Econ), PhD & Professor Cindy S. J. Fazey B. Sc. (Soc), PhD, with Tim Boekhout van Solinge, March 14 2003.
- The UNDCP was created at the UN Office in Vienna in 1991 (A/45/179) as the single body in charge of concerted international action for drug abuse control. Its formation was an attempt to resolve the confusion of having three co-located but separate UN bodies with differing but overlapping responsibilities for policy and implementation in the drugs field (Fazey, 2003). As such the UNDCP has responsibility for coordinating and directing UN action against illicit drugs. It provides secretariat services for the Commission and the International Narcotics Control Board, advises parties on issues concerning accession to and implementation of the conventions and establishes and usually executes projects in the field.
- Another merger took place in 1997 when the UNDCP joined with the Centre for International Crime Prevention (CICP) to come under the umbrella of the United Nations Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention (UNODCCP). Yet another change of name came about in September 2002 when the UNODCCP became the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).

- Look at the UN website, there is no longer any group called the United Nations International Drug Control Programme. It has been fully merged into the UNODC. Likiva (talk) 07:40, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
Redirect
[edit]United Nations International Drug Control Programme should redirect to United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. The UNODC is the current UN drug policy program, and the UNDCP page reads like it was cut-and-paste from a UNDCP document. Likiva (talk) 07:58, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
