The global situation regarding illicit drug trafficking and abuse reached a new and dangerous stage in 1989, with heavily armed and well-financed drug trafficking organizations threatening political institutions in some countries. In its annual report, the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) stated that the illegal production of narcotic drugs had increased and had spread to more countries. The environment of some countries continued to be damaged by the illicit cultivation of the opium poppy and coca bush. The increasing spread of AIDS through intravenous drug abuse was viewed with growing alarm.
