Mission and objectivesFor two decades, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has been helping make the world safer from drugs, organized crime, corruption and terrorism. We are committed to achieving health, security and justice for all by tackling these threats and promoting peace and sustainable well-being as deterrents to them. Because the scale of these problems is often too great for states to confront alone, UNODC offers practical assistance and encourages transnational approaches to action. We do this in all regions of the world through our global programmes and network of field offices. The Office is committed to supporting Member States in implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at its core. The 2030 Agenda clearly recognizes that the rule of law and fair, effective and humane justice systems, as well as health-oriented responses to drug use, are both enablers for and part of sustainable development. The Border Management Branch was created in April 2022 to deliver collaborative and comprehensive border management technical assistance to Member States. The Branch includes UNODC's Airport Communication Programme (AIRCOP), Container Control Programme (CCP), the Global Maritime Crime Programme (GMCP), the Criminal Network Disruption Programme (CRIMJUST) and the UNODC Environment Team, which runs the Global Programme on Crimes that Affect the Environment.
