Abstract

Drug trafficking is considered by contemporary academics to be one of the most widespread forms of organized transnational crime. The unstable regional political situation, corruption, armed conflicts, poverty, and other factors are recognized as contributing to the expansion of this phenomenon. The United Nations has aimed to channel state cooperation in eradicating the drug scourge. Among the most effective tools in this regard are the creation of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the adoption on 15 November 2000 of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime. In this article, we aim to analyze the forms of inter-state cooperation in the prevention and combating of illicit drug trafficking and their impact on the phenomenon under investigation; also, we will analyze the legal nature of drug trafficking as an act that infringes on the interests of the modern international community.
