Join our webinar during #16Daysof Activism against Gender-Based Violence! From online harassment to non-consensual intimate image sharing, Technology-Facilitated GBV is real and causes serious harm. Let's build safer digital spaces for women and girls. 🧵 @UNDP  @UN_Women

Please, @elonmusk , send help. Or at least send variety. I’ll take cat videos. I’ll take weather updates. I’ll take ads for toenail clippers. Just give me anything else. Also why offer the user "show less" option, if this is ignored. Is this a feature, a bug or a loyalty test?

[INCB President @INCB_President]

During #CND68 #INCB is co-sponsoring a side-event organized by 🇨🇷 @CR_ONUVienna on normative and operational experiences in monitoring the use of specialized equipment to prevent illicit drug manufacture. https://t.co/Gh1NBMawRq  @CND_tweets

[INCB President @INCB_President]

#INCB has just published a brochure on PPP and #precursor control in all UN official languages, which presents solutions for working hand in hand with industry to prevent illicit drug manufacture and progress the #SDGs https://t.co/CPNJPfDPPC

[INCB President @INCB_President]

#INCB has launched a data visualization dashboard for the #Precursors Incident Communication System. It enables comprehensive analysis to support investigations of cases & identification of trends on precursors & equipment used in illicit drug manufacture https://t.co/FcukJvgoju

[Tuna Bozalan @thetunaphish]

When it comes to communicating about incidents related to chemical #precursors🛢️and equipment used in #drug💊 manufacture, the Precursors Incident Communication System(PICS) is the global 🌍🇺🇳 standard. We are constantly improving it so it can be more beneficial to member states.

[INCB President @INCB_President]

Information on #INCB’s Precursor Incident Communication System (PICS) is now available in all 6 official languages of the United Nations. PICS is the only global tool for tracking incidents involving #precursors & equipment used in illicit drug manufacture https://t.co/5pkz1QlLbI

[INCB President @INCB_President]

Pleased to welcome @INTERPOL_HQ to the Board’s session to discuss emerging drug trafficking trends and cooperation, including with #INCB's precursor control and Global Rapid Interdiction of Dangerous Substances (GRIDS) programmes.

[Tuna Bozalan @thetunaphish]

I spent considerable time working on this. Hopefully the compendium of national control measures will be a helpful tool to governments around the🌍to share their national legislation / domestic controls in order to support multilateral efforts to address illicit drug manufacture.

[INCB President @INCB_President]

INCB has published two new tools to support Governments in addressing the proliferation of non-scheduled chemicals and designer precursors: a list of closely related chemicals and a compendium of domestic controls. https://t.co/RVT0fW723f

[UNODC South Asia @UNODC_ROSA]

Sharing key findings, INCB's @PavadiaJ said, "Criminal groups are exploiting legitimate e-commerce and other online platforms for the trafficking of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, precursor chemicals and new psychoactive substances."

The year of elections continues to produce some interesting results.

This picture is notable for another reason @jamesinturkey . Opposition CHP is not confined to coastal regions but expanding into Anatolia, the conservative/nationalist heartland of the country.

[INCB President @INCB_President]

This #CND67 has been a perfect forum to transmit and exchange information with key players on ways and tools to address illicit drug manufacture. This video summarizes #INCB’s main activities in #precursors control during @CND_tweets

[INCB President @INCB_President]

2/2: This vote will contribute to addressing the current synthetic drugs problem, including #fentanyl, by preventing illicit drug manufacturers from circumventing controls by replacing controlled chemicals with closely related substitutes.  @CND_tweets

[INCB President @INCB_President]

Pleased to meet with Mr. Victor Sannes, Deputy Director-General of Public Health and National Drugs Coordinator of the Netherlands at the margins of #CND67. We discussed ongoing cooperation, drug use prevention and drug policy for #health and #wellbeing. #INCB #SDG3

[INCB President @INCB_President]

Today at #CND67 I presented #INCB’s 2023 Annual Report, #Precursors Report & technical publications on narcotic drugs & psychotropic substances. I also gave an update on #availability of controlled medicines & challenges in the review of chemicals for possible scheduling. #SDG3

[INCB President @INCB_President]

1/2: #CND67 has voted in favor of including 2 groups of ATS #precursors and 2 fentanyl precursors in Table I of the 1988 Convention, 18 chemicals in total.  For the first time, two series of closely related chemicals will be placed under international control. @CND_tweets

@KuzmiczPatricia @OleksandraZinc1 @MatthewDicks For me personally, this book has not just made me a better story teller, but also changed my perception of life so some extend. As a person who had to deal with dementia within my own family, I started to appreciate and actively collect memories with people I love and respect.
