The paper reviews recent development in abuse of alcohol, narcotics and psychotropic substances in developing countries. There has been a marked increase in production and sale of alcoholic beverages, and alcohol abuse has spread to new groups of the population. This has led to serious social and health problems in many developing countries. There has also been a substantial increase in abuse of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances in some developing countries. The illicit production and traffic in narcotic drugs have resulted in more crime and corruption, and in some countries to terrorism and economic and political destabilization. The paper also summarizes activities undertaken within the UN-system in the field of alcohol and drug abuse.
