By resolution 42/112 of 7 December 1987, the General Assembly decided to observe 26 June as the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
The date June 26 is to commemorate Lin Zexu's dismantling of the opium trade in Humen, Guangdong, ending in June 25 1839, just before the First Opium War in China.
This global observance aims to raise awareness of the major problem that illicit drugs represent to society.
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is the nodal agency for observing this day.
The theme of the 2021 day is Share Facts On Drugs, Save Lives which aims at combating misinformation and promotes sharing the facts on drugs — from health risks and solutions to tackle the world drug problem, to evidence-based prevention, treatment, and care.
