The International Prisoners Aid Association (IPAA) is concerned with the rehabilitation of offenders, including drug offenders. IPAA does not have the financial and human resources to establish working programmes for drug abuse control or for the treatment of drug-dependent persons. It does, however, contribute to efforts at the international level to combat the drug problem by supporting non-governmental agencies in different countries involved in the rehabilitation of drug-dependent persons and the prevention of drug abuse, by disseminating knowledge and information on current developments in the field among concerned members of the world community and by promoting and publishing cross-cultural research dealing with the drug problem at the preventive/control and treatment levels. IPAA has participated in international and regional conferences and seminars dealing with drug abuse, and numerous items on drug-related issues have been published in the IPAA Newsletter and in occasional reports. The present article provides a brief overview of the work of IPAA as it relates to drug control.
国际囚犯援助协会（IPAA）关注罪犯的改造，包括吸毒罪犯。IPAA没有资金和人力资源来制定药物滥用控制或治疗药物依赖者的工作计划。然而，它通过支持不同国家参与药物依赖者康复和预防药物滥用的非政府机构、在国际社会相关成员中传播该领域当前发展的知识和信息以及推广和发表关于预防/控制和治疗层面药物问题的跨文化研究，为国际层面打击毒品问题的努力做出贡献。IPAA参加了关于药物滥用的国际和区域会议及研讨会，并且在《IPAA通讯》和不定期报告中发表了许多与毒品相关问题的文章。本文简要概述了IPAA与药物管制相关的工作。
