- Several countries — particularly in Central Asia and the Gulf — have near-zero tolerance for alcohol, with Muslim-majority populations where alcohol control is handled under religious and civil law rather than a separate public health agency.
- The UNODC Regional Office for South Asia and the ASEAN Narco Cooperation (ASEAN-NARCO) coordinate cross-border drug policy across their respective regions.
