UNODC: Iran leads in war on drugs

UNODC: Iran leads in war on drugs

Iran is the world`s leading country in drug seizure and the international community knows what a hefty price it has paid for its fight against illegal narcotics, said Roberto Arbitro speaking at an NGO gathering in Tehran on Monday, Fars quoted.‏

He added that more important is Iran`s exceptional success in cutting demand for drugs.‏

Iranian NGOs active in this field are a main pillar in reducing demand for narcotics, Arbitro said.‏

He added although demand reduction policies in Iran are in need of more efficient awareness raising programs, they can still set a model for other countries.‏
