If a
Party considers it
desirable as part of its
action against the
illicit traffic in
drugs, having
due regard to its
constitutional,
legal and
administrative systems, and, if it so desires, with the
technical advice of the
Board or the specialized
agencies, it shall
promote the
establishment, in
consultation with other interested
Parties in the
region, of
agreements which contemplate the
development of
regional centres for
scientific research and
education to
combat the
problems resulting from the
illicit use of and
traffic in
