The International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) is an autonomous and quasi-judicial entity established under the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. Comprised of 13 experts, the INCB plays a critical role in promoting international drug control measures by ensuring compliance with global drug treaties. Its members, selected for their expertise in medical, pharmaceutical, and pharmacological fields, are appointed by the Economic and Social Council for five-year terms, with the potential for re-election.

The INCB's core mission involves monitoring the manufacturing and distribution of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances to prevent misuse while promoting healthcare practices globally. It offers various services, including the publication of annual reports, guidelines, and press releases to inform stakeholders and the public. The INCB also responds to contemporary challenges, such as the implications of COVID-19 on drug management. Through its dedicated efforts, the INCB seeks to build trust and ensure effective drug control while supporting health initiatives worldwide.
