The United Nations Office of Drug Control and Crime Prevention (UDCCP) is a global leader in the fight against drugs and crime.  It was built in 1997 by the United Nations Drug Control Programme and the Centre for International Crime Prevention, UDCCP is handled in all regions of the world through a network of field offices. UDCCP relies on contributions, from governments, for 90% of its budget.

UDCCP assist Member States against illicit drugs, crime and terrorism. In the Millennium Declaration, Member States also resolved to intensify efforts to fight crime, to double the efforts to put into practice the promise to counter the world drug problem and international terrorism.

 

There are three main objectives of the UDDCP

·                                 Cooperation projects to enhance the capacity of Member States to counter drugs, crime and terrorism.

·                                 Research to increase information of drugs and crime issues.

·                                 The UCDDP works to assist States in drugs, crime and terrorism.

 

I think that they are doing a good job at these problems. Since they have started this organization, crimes, drugs, and terrorism has decreased greatly. UDCCP has created the idea of dog sniffing baggage for drugs. The UDCCP call these dogs’ sniffer-dogs. The UCDDP also provides drug identification kits to countries that will decrease drug smuggling into different countries. Since they have started this, drug smuggling has greatly decreased. When times passes, people built better ways to smuggle drugs, and the OCDDP keeps improving the ways to deal with this. For example: The smugglers created briefcases made from heroine just by attaching locks and the handle. The dogs can smell this and alarm the guards that the briefcase is the drug.

 

ODCCP trains street workers to help. ODCCP prevention program targets the most-at-risk groups in many countries around the world. Prevention programs are often conducted through schools, through the mass media and street/social workers. ODCCP assist border control officers around the world to intercept drugs and drug traffickers. It also develops strategies and brokers agreements to make sure that countries are cooperating with each other. Without the UN organizing this organization, crimes, drugs, and terrorism will increase greatly.

 

Causes of WW 2

 "What did Hitler mean by creating a Greater Germany?." wikianswersQ&A the wiki way. december 17,2008. anwers cooperation. 11 Jan 2009 .

When Hitler spoke of creating a 'Greater Germany' it referred to an idea (not uncommon among his generation) of uniting all German speaking peoples and their historical homelands under one 'Reich' (empire). The lands in question not only included ones which had never been a part of the German Empire (e.g. the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia), but also ones which had been lost by Germany after defeat in 1918 (many of these places, such as Upper Silesia and most of Pomerania, are now in Poland). It can be confusing to contemplate, because some 'traditional' German lands were the product of Teutonic conquests and German emigration in the 14th and 15th Centuries (such as East Prussia, which was incorporated into Poland & Russia after WWII). Hitler actually succeeded in creating his 'Greater Germany' (Grossdeutsches Reich) for a short while, after incorporating what is now the Czech Republic, Austria, and many territories in what is now Poland. These lands were treated differently from those simply conquered and occupied by the Germans during WWII. 

 

In 1936 Hitler remilitarized the Rhineland, in violation of various treaties. There was no foreign opposition. In March 1938, the German army was permitted to occupy Austria by that country's browbeaten political leadership. The annexation (Anschluss) of Austria was welcomed by most Austrians, who wished to become part of a greater Germany, something forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles. In September 1938, British prime minister Neville Chamberlain consented to Hitler's desire to take possession of the Sudetenland, an area in Czechoslovakia bordering Germany that was inhabited by about 3 million Germans. In March 1939, Germany occupied the Czech-populated western provinces of Bohemia and Moravia, and Slovakia was made a German puppet state.

This is a German word which means living space. In the period from c. 1880 onwards there was a widespread view that a powerful nation needed an overseas empire.After Germany's brief and illusory victory over Russia towards the end of WW1 many German nationalists believed firmly that this could best be achieved by vast expansion (lebensraum) in Eastern Europe.
