UNITED NATIONS OFFICE ON DRUGS  AND CRIME 

AGENDA:  Analyzing the Role of Narco-Terrorism in Funding Terrorist Organizations through Cross-Border Drug Trafficking 

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) founded in 1997, is a specialized agency which works under the United Nations charter. With its headquarters in Vienna, UNODC has operations set up in over 80 countries. The UNODC serves all 193 member states of the United Nations and does not have any fixed structure. The basic function of the UNODC revolves around combating illicit drug trafficking, transnational crime, corruption, and terrorism. The UNODC works closely with member states to develop policies, provide technical assistance and implement frameworks to weaken the hold of drug cartels and reduce the influence of crime.

The agenda - The Nexus of Narco-Terrorism: Combatting the Role of International Drug Trafficking in Terrorist Financing is multifaceted with deep significance. The agenda forges a vital link between the influence of terrorism with the trade of illicit substances, highlighting their intertwined influence. The two combined set the foundation for a great threat to global security. Delegates are expected to delve into historical patterns, take reference from case studies, and understand the role of transnational criminal networks in facilitating this relationship. 

 

Delegates of this committee are expected to deconstruct the agendas' complexities and propose creative but practical solutions. Diplomatic negotiations should take place in order to table well-rounded resolutions. It is expected that delegates will conduct themselves aligned to their countries national interest with global obligation. This will ensure recommendations are consistent with international law and human rights doctrine. Effective and unwavering collaboration is expected from this committee.
