UNODC Annual Report 2007 / United Nations. Office on Drugs and Crime, April 2007
http://www.unodc.org/unodc/annual_report_2007.html
"The UNODC Annual Report for 2007 (covering activities in 2006) provides an overview of the organisation's activities worldwide. It shows the range of activities undertaken in the field and at headquarters to make the world safer from illicit drugs and international organised crime.
In 2006, UNODC's announcement of a record opium harvest in Afghanistan grabbed the world headlines and reinforced the Office's reputation for providing the gold standard for drug cultivation data. But UNODC also raised the alarm about growing cocaine use in Europe in 2006, paid special attention to the crime of trafficking in persons and worked to generate momentum against another global problem within its mandate: corruption."
