Abstract EN

Article (12) of 1988 Vienna Convention states that: ''The Parties shall take the measures they deem appropriate to prevent diversion of substances in Table I and Table II used for the purpose of illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances….'' Table 1 and Table II means substances classified under such tables, and which are attached to the Convention with its formula subject to amendment every now and then.

According to Article 12, it was found out that precursors, chemicals and solvents are used in the manufacture of most narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances.

The introduction of United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic In Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances has had a significant impact on putting in place controls on the production and illicit use of such substances as well as developing appropriate measures within the framework of international cooperation, and under the UN umbrella.

This requires addressing the issue at local, regional and international levels, and keeping a breast with what had been done to control precursors, chemicals and solvents.

It also requires defining such substances; explaining ways of using the most common ones among them and clarifying the role of international organizations and concerned bodies in this respect.

It is noteworthy here to mention that Egyptian authorities have, since 1933, been exerting international efforts, urging that such substances be classified as controlled substances, and that in 1979, the United Nations drew governments attention to the diversion of substances and heroin manufacturing.

In the early nineties, it was decided that International Narcotics Control Board be responsible for developing appropriate measures to control and impede precursors
