The United Nations and NATO have been cooperating in the areas of maintaining international peace and security since the early 1990s, in support of peace-support and crisis-management operations. In September 2008, building on the experience of over a decade of working together, the Secretaries-General of both the UN and NATO agreed to establish a framework for expanded consultation and cooperation.
Operationally, UNODC has long-standing cooperation with NATO Trust Funds to build capacity of counter-narcotics officers from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia.
