The Commonwealth Secretariat is an international diplomatic agency servicing the Commonwealth, an association of some 47 independent countries that derive a common heritage from the former British Empire. Although the Commonwealth Secretariat's role in combating the illicit traffic in drugs has developed pragmatically in response to specific needs, it reflects a deep concern on the part of member countries to do everything within their power to further the fight against this serious criminal activity. To this end the various divisions of the Secretariat have commissioned studies, facilitated training, prepared model legislation, promoted the exchange of information, participated at international forums and made a determined effort to concentrate enforcement at an international level against the resources and property of those engaged in this illicit traffic.
英联邦秘书处是一个为英联邦服务的国际外交机构。英联邦由约47个独立国家组成，这些国家从前大英帝国继承了共同的传统。尽管英联邦秘书处打击毒品非法贩运的作用是根据具体需求务实发展起来的，但这反映了成员国深切关注尽一切力量推动打击这一严重犯罪活动。为此，秘书处各部门开展了研究、提供了培训便利、制定了示范立法、促进了信息交流、参加了国际论坛，并下定决心在国际层面集中执法力量打击参与这种非法贩运活动者的资源和财产。
