1.Since the unlawful coup attempt by the Myanmar military, the production and illicit trafficking of narcotic drugs in Myanmar have reached at an all-time high. The threats posed by these conducts now are higher than ever before with far-reaching adverse impacts on the neighboring countries in the form of transnational organized crimes.
2.The National Unity Government of Myanmar considers the drug abuse prevention and control as a core responsibility of the revolution since it can eliminate the existentiality of human beings.
3.The National Unity Government of Myanmar is committed to fulfilling the obligations under United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (1988) and relevant international conventions pertaining to the illicit trafficking and eradication of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances.
4.The National Unity Government of Myanmar is committed to establishing essential mechanisms for the prevention and control of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances in accordance with the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law (1993) and its subsequent amendment in 2018. In implementing these mechanisms, the National Unity Government of Myanmar will fully collaborate with Member States of the United Nations Convention, international organizations, neighboring countries, and allied revolutionary organizations.
5.Given the importance of public participation in the prevention and control of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, it is essential for individuals and communities to actively engage in these efforts in our government’s activities.
