United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. (2010). World drug report 2010 : executive summary. Vienna: United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
Abstract: In 2009, the United Nations Member States decided to make further and decisive progress, within a decade, in controlling illicit drug supply and demand. Many illicit drug markets have reached global dimensions and require control strategies on a comparable scale. In that context, there is a need to better understand these transnational markets and the manner in which they operate. This year’s World Drug Report is a contribution towards that objective. It opens with an analytical discussion of three key transnational drug markets: the markets for heroin, cocaine and amphetamine-type stimulants. The market discussion is followed by a presentation of statistical trends for all major drug categories. The latest information on drug production, seizures and consumption is presented. Finally, there is a discussion on the relationship between drug trafficking and instability.

United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. (2011). Amphetamines and ecstasy. Vienna: United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
Abstract: Three years after the last global assessment of Amphetamine-Type Stimulants (ATS), the manufacture and trafficking of these drugs remains a serious and constantly evolving challenge. The 2011 Global ATS Assessment shines a powerful light on ATS helping governments to better understand this important phenomenon. Once viewed as purely a cottage industry, ATS manufacture and trafficking has undergone its own industrial revolution. After cannabis, ATS are the second most widely used drugs across the globe outstripping the use of heroin or cocaine. ATS are now manufactured and marketed with organized crime groups involved throughout the production and supply chain. Until recently, the ATS trade was sometimes ignored in favour of the traditional focus on heroin and cocaine. But there is growing recognition that the expansion of the ATS trade and its high profits threaten security, health and the welfare of populations across the globe. [...]

United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. (2012). World drug report 2012. New York: United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
Abstract: Illicit drug markets have global dimensions and require coordinated responses on a comparable scale. In this context, the World Drug Report aims to improve understanding of the illicit drug problem and contribute to more international cooperation for countering it. This year’s edition begins with an overview of recent trends and the current situation in terms of production, trafficking and consumption and the consequences of illicit drug use in terms of treatment, drug-related diseases and drug-related deaths. The second chapter presents a long-term perspective: it looks at the main characteristics of the contemporary drug problem, the ways it has changed over the last few decades, the driving factors that shaped this evolution, and the directions it is likely to take in the future. The Report is considerably shorter than previous editions, and the Statistical Annex is now published electronically on a CD-ROM, as well as the UNODC website: http://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/data-and-analysis/WDR-2012.html
Keywords: illegal drug use; AOD associated consequences; opioids in any form; cocaine; drug market; cannabis; amphetamines; laws and regulations; monitoring; prevalence; international area
