The need for suppressing the illicit traffic in drugs can hardly be
over-emphasized. Yet, the licit uses of drugs, especially for
medical and scientific needs, cannot be suppressed. Apparently, it
is a ques tion of determining the vvorld requirements of drugs for
such legiti mate uses, and of producing and manufacturing them
accordingly. Owing to their multifarious medical uses in various
parts of the world, it proves to be almost impossible to determine
exactly the amount of drugs required for legitimate purposes. There
is also the complicating factor that drugs are used for
sociological and religious reasons, which have a long history. Not
only arc the licit uses and legitimate amounts of drugs difficult
to determine but also such difficulties give rise to illicit
traffic in them. Yet, it is believed that a concerted international
policy, coupled with national co-operation, on various facets of
the related problems-namely, limitation of production and/or
manufacture of drugs, restriction on cultivation of plants that may
contribute to addiction-producing substances, training and
rehabilitation of drug addicts, and efficient national
administration-would help eradicate drug-abuse. In search of an
appropriate remedy, this book has been devoted to a practical study
of the problem and to exploring, in this area of international law,
the relationship between the political and econ omic interests and
the international economic order."
