???????Vienna (IP): Iran's Permanent Envoy to the International Organizations in Vienna stressed the need to create a legal and practical framework for taking immediate action to eliminate the negative consequences of sanctions on countries in the fight against crime and drugs.

Iran Press/Europe: Kazem Gharibabadi in a joint meeting of ambassadors of 77 developing countries and China with the Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) said, "Given the nature and scale of the challenges facing developing countries, including in the areas of narcotics, terrorism, and cybercrime, this office and Members of Group 77 must work hand in hand to form and implement a comprehensive and unified approach to support each other in order to address the current serious challenges."

Gharibabadi called on the international community, including the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and member states, to condemn the use of unilateral coercive measures against developing countries that are fighting against crime and drugs, and design and implement a legal and practical framework for taking immediate action to eliminate the negative consequences of sanctions on target countries.
