Terms and Conditions of Use

Data Use, Accuracy and Interpretation of DMP data 

The data and metadata provided exclusively through log-in access in the Drugs Monitoring Platform may be used for internal  analytical purposes only and are considered unpublished data in this format. Under no circumstances can data and information on individual seizures be disseminated by Users to the public, to individuals outside their organization, or repurposed.

Users may reproduce specific content on the Drugs Monitoring Platform (e.g. maps, dashboards, charts, analytical briefs) for official purposes only, provided that appropriate acknowledgement of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Drugs Monitoring Platform as the source is given and that the UNODC’s endorsement of Users’ views, products or services is not stated or implied in any way. While the Drugs Monitoring Platform aims at having the most complete and up-to-date picture possible of drug seizures at the global level, it must be understood that the platform does not contain all drug seizures taking place at the global level for a specific period of time. Furthermore, there may be differences in the coverage across drug-types, regions and countries. This needs to be taken into account when analysing the data and drawing conclusions, especially from aggregate figures.   

Data contained within the closed environment of the Drugs Monitoring Platform refer exclusively to singular seizures reported to or otherwise collected by UNODC. All efforts have been made to avoid duplication however, some cases may exist. The accuracy and comprehensiveness of the data is dependent on voluntary contributions by countries, other partners and other data collection activities carried out by UNODC. Therefore, the data do not represent a total picture of drug seizures and drug trafficking. Information available on total amounts of drug seizures at global and national level are provided in the UNODC Data Portal.

The UNODC strives for the highest level of accuracy and is committed to promptly correcting any errors on its part. It does not guarantee or make any express or implied representations regarding the accuracy, reliability, correctness, fitness for use for a particular purpose, or otherwise, whatsoever, of any of the data in the Data Monitoring Platform.

The UNODC periodically incorporates, without notice, revisions, updates, and improvements to this website’s content according to the sources’ availability but undertakes no obligation to do so, timeously or at all.
