In 1918, the Croats, Serbs, and Slovenes formed a kingdom known after 1929 as Yugoslavia. Following World War II, Yugoslavia became a federal independent Communist state under the strong hand of Marshal TITO. Although Croatia declared its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, it took four years of sporadic, but often bitter, fighting before occupying Serb armies were mostly cleared from Croatian lands. Under UN supervision, the last Serb-held enclave in eastern Slavonia was returned to Croatia in 1998. Background: The use of experimental drugs dates back before the cloning phenomenon. Experimental drugs are used to demonstrate the negative effects of an uninformed experimentation. Women and minors are usually used for these types of experiments. Medical experimentations on humans have become popular because of the issues of cloning. Medical experimentations without consent still go on today. Many people believe that medical experimentations are morally compromising but others think it’s immoral. It is believed that the government chooses a certain group for experiments because they “have no political voice and therefore cannot be heard”. The government has publicly apologized for non-consensual experimentation and stated that scientist must have consent to perform studies.

UN Involvement: The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), which was formally called the United Nations Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention (ODCCP), was established in 1991. The UNODC concentrates on fighting drug abuse and drug trade. It encourages countries to eliminate illicit drug crops and replace them with legal crops. They even help farmers find alternative livelihoods. They apply anti-drug legislation and coordinate cross-border projects. They track drug patterns and inform countries to the latest trends. They create drug-abuse prevention programmes and establish rehabilitation for drug addicts. They also try to stop trafficking through law enforcements. The United Nations International Drug control Programme (UNDCP) is part of the UNODC. The UNDCP encourages countries to join to the UN drug control conventions. It also performs laboratory services, provides training materials and provides medical care. Country Policy and Solutions: We are a very peacekeeping country. We try to keep a friendly relationship with our neighbors. We propose that countries should enforce laws that scientists must have permission from the subject to perform any studies. We also propose to have reasonable consequences if theses are not met. We encourage people to speak if they were abused from experimentati on.
