UAE’s Drug War Gets Global Thumbs Up
The International Society of Addiction Medicine (ISAM) has lauded the United Arab Emirates’ new National Anti-Narcotics Authority. The body hailed President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s decree establishing the authority as a significant step forward.
ISAM described the initiative as a powerful tool in the UAE’s fight against narcotics and psychotropic substances. The organisation highlighted the effectiveness of this centralised approach in tackling drug trafficking and abuse.
This move underscores the UAE’s commitment to a comprehensive drug control strategy. The establishment of a dedicated authority signals a proactive approach to a growing global challenge.
The positive international recognition reflects the UAE’s leadership in regional drug control efforts. This development has significant implications for international collaborations in combating the global drug menace. The success of the UAE’s strategy could serve as a model for other nations grappling with similar issues.
