AGAINST ILLICIT TRAFFIC IN NARCOTIC DRUGS AND
PSYCHOTROPIC SUBSTANCES
Resolution 1
EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION
The United Nations Conference for the Adoption of a Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances,
Calling attention to resolution III adopted by the 1961 United Nations Conference for the Adoption of a Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, in which attention was drawn to the importance of the technical records on international drug traffickers of the International Criminal Police Organization and their use by that organization for the circulation of descriptions of such traffickers,
Considering the machinery developed by the International Criminal Police Organization for the timely and efficient exchange of crime investigation information between police authorities on a world-wide basis,
Recommends that the widest possible use should be made by police authorities of the records and communications system of the International Criminal Police Organization in achieving the goals of the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances.

Resolution 3
PROVISION OF NECESSARY RESOURCES TO
THE DIVISION OF NARCOTIC DRUGS AND
THE SECRETARIAT OF THE INTERNATIONAL NARCOTICS CONTROL BOARD TO
ENABLE THEM TO DISCHARGE THE TASKS ENTRUSTED TO THEM UNDER THE INTER-
NATIONAL DRUG CONTROL TREATIES
The United Nations Conference for the Adoption of a Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances,
Recognizing that the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961, that Convention as amended by the 1972 Protocol Amending the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961, and the Convention on Psychotropic Substances 1971, remain the basis for international efforts in the control of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, and that strict implementation both by Governments and by the international control organs of the United Nations of the obligations arising from the Conventions is essential to achieve their aims,
Considering that the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances will create further obligations and financial outlays for Governments, the Commission on Narcotic Drugs, the International Narcotics Control Board and their secretariats,
Deeply disturbed by the impact of recent staffing and budgetary reductions on the capacity of both the Division of Narcotic Drugs and the secretariat of the International Narcotics Control Board to carry out fully their mandated programme of work,
1. Urges all Member States to take appropriate steps in the General Assembly as well as in the financial organs of the Assembly to assign the appropriate priority and approve the necessary budgetary appropriations with a view to providing the Division of Narcotic Drugs and the secretariat of the International Narcotics Control Board with the necessary resources to discharge fully the tasks entrusted to them under the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961, that Convention as amended by the 1972 Protocol Amending the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961, and the Convention on Psychotropic Substances, 1971;
2. Requests the Secretary-General to take the necessary steps, within his competence, to give effect to the provisions of paragraph 1 above.
