In June 2023, the United Nations announced a boost to their fight against the illicit drug trade within the Golden Triangle in response to the surge in drug cultivation and production. The Golden Triangle is a southeast region that encompasses Myanmar, Thailand, and Laos. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) aims to promote international cooperation in the fight against illicit drugs, transnational organized crime, corruption, and terrorism. Along the Mekong River, the Golden Triangle Drug Trade has been one of the largest drug trafficking corridors in the world for the past few decades. Local governments are yet to be successful in effectively controlling the export of illicit drugs through Southeast Asia's dangerous jungles, hidden river branches, and airspace. The concern for political, economic, public health, safety, and environmental impacts highlight the necessity for the United Nations to address this issue. You, as a delegate, must work alongside fellow representatives to face this challenge head-on, in promoting a safer, more regulated world.
