NEHIR ÜNEL (Turkey), associating herself with the European Union, said new and evolving threats could not have been anticipated at the founding of the United Nations in 1945. Turkey, therefore, attached great importance to the work of UNODC, which worked with States to enhance their responses to the intertwined problems of drugs, crime and terrorism, and to strengthen the rule of law through the promotion of fair, humane and accountable criminal justice systems. Noting that UNODC relied on voluntary funding, she called on Member States to provide it with sufficient resources to sustain its technical assistance work, in particular that of its Terrorism Prevention Branch, by increasing its regular budget and providing it with predictable, multi-year extrabudgetary resources.
