One of the non-traditional issues that have major impact on the country and global society is drug trafficking. Pakistan has become one of the locations for widespread drug trafficking because it is located in the Golden Crescent region which is one of the world's drug-producing locations. The drug problem affects the social, economic and health of the Pakistani population. As an effort to overcome these problems, Pakistan is under the supervision of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) which handles transnational crimes such as drug trafficking.
