Syria’s drug-related arrests are increasing, according to a report by the UN s anti-drug agency (UNODC), which has revealed the amount of drugs confiscated in the country during the first half of 2024. Why is the Syrian government trying to stop illegal drug trafficking in their territory? How is it? What is really going to be known as the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (ICRC) - and how does it behave in an effort to boost the global drug trade and increase the number of detainees and traffickers being arrested in Damascus and other areas of the world?
