AVISO VIDEO: Order of Malta against Drug Abuse
UNODC Education Program for Millions of Young People worldwide
According to the UNODC World Drug Report 250 million people take illegal drugs, 250.000 lose their lives due to direct or indirect causes of substance abuse annually. The costs of drug-related crimes and treatment of drug abuses are estimated to exceed 700 billion US-Dollars a year.
According to the United Nations Children's Fund UNICEF about 1.2 billion adolescents live on our planet, which are almost 16 percent of the world's population. To protect them from drug abuse the UNODC Youth Initiative was launched, with the aim to support youth globally, more specifically, to help them recognize the threats and hazards of drug abuse at an early stage and to promote healthy and sustainable life styles among their peers.
In Vienna, committed young people from more than 60 countries worldwide joined the YOUTH INITIATIVE workshops on youth engagement in policy making processes and drafting of the statement to be delivered to the delegates in the plenary session. With the very important help of several countries and the Permanent Mission of the Sovereign Order of Malta to the UN in Vienna, the UNODC Youth Initiative has reached millions of young people globally in 90 coutries on all continents.
"Whatever we are doing here is to support your future," said UNODC Director-General Yuri Fedotov to the address of the young delegates. "Especially your discussions, and your insight is highly important and relevant to all of us, to prevent drug abuse and move to a healthy future for yourself and, hopefully, your children." The Permanent Representative of the Sovereign Order of Malta at the United Nations in Vienna, Ambassador Günther A. Granser, added: "Investing in the safe and healthy development of young people is investing in the sustainable future for all of us."
