Drug-addiction among and drug-related offences committed by young people are to be condemned, but the community at large, including families, parents and guardians, must share the responsibility for the actions of the young. The age of criminal responsibility is still an unresolved question, and as a consequence no uniform application of law and treatment may be prescribed. International concern for the drug-related problems of young people has been consistent; it is for the States to give high priority to the solution of these problems and to enforce their drug-control legislation. United Nations guidelines can help in developing appropriate national legislation.
