United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs
The first members were Canada, Chinese Taipei, Egypt, France, India, Iran, Mexico, the Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Turkey, the UK, US, USSR, and Yugoslavia.[20] The CND, performing its duties as a governing body, adopts during its regular sessions resolutions[21] to provide policy guidance and monitors the activities of the UNODC.[22] It further approves, based on a proposal of the executive director, the budget of the United Nations International Drug Control Programme, administered by the UNODC.[26] Notwithstanding the rules of procedure, the Commission usually adopts decisions by consensus in the "Vienna spirit" that has been described by Yuri Fedotov (former UNODC Executive-Director) as: "the willingness and dedication of all concerned to pull together to find joint solutions, even on the most difficult topics".[31] Nonetheless, the CND sometimes disregards both ECOSOC rules of procedure and treaty-based requirements, as was the case during the considerations of WHO recommendations on cannabis and cannabis-related substances.
