"Erie Einar Ekstrand
Eric Einar Ekstrand died on 24 August 1958 in Nykoeping, Sweden, his native town. He was one of the pioneers in the field of international narcotics control.
Born on 22 December 1880, he was a brilliant scholar and became a doctor of law of the University of Upsala. He then joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where he occupied several positions, and became Director of Administrative Affairs in 1921. At the end of the first world war, he had begun a series of international missions which took him to all parts of the world, wherever there was need for men of goodwill.
In 1921-22, the Swedish Red Cross engaged him to study the famine situation in the Samara district of the Ukraine; next, he was chief of the International Commission for the Exchange of Greek and Turkish populations (1923). In 1924, the League of Nations entrusted him with the task of supervising the protection of the Albanian minority in Greece.
In 1925, he returned to the diplomatic service and was appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in Buenos Aires, Santiago, Montevideo and Asuncion. In 1929 and 1930, he was Chairman of the League of Nations Commission of Enquiry into the Control of Opium Smoking in the Far East. He travelled through south-east Asia studying closely not only the opium question, but all humanitarian problems.
Back in Europe in 1931, he became director of the section of the Traffic in Opium and Other Dangerous Drugs, and of the Social Section of the League of Nations and, ipso facto, secretary of the Advisory Committee on Traffic in Opium and Other Dangerous Drugs. The same year, he was secretary-general of the Conference for the Limitation of the Manufacture of Narcotic Drugs. This conference drafted the Convention for limiting the Manufacture and regulating the Distribution of Narcotic Drugs, one of the basic treaties for the international control of these substances. He was also secretary in 1936 of the Conference for the Suppression of the Illicit Traffic in Dangerous Drugs.
During the second world war, Eric Einar Ekstrand published his memoirs, Around the World in Thirty Years - a title which he thought at the time signified the conclusion of his career. In fact, he was to continue for years to come his untiring activity.
After having been a member of the unofficial Swedish Commission for assistance to Finland during the war of 1939/40, he returned to the international field as chairman for six years of the United Nations Sub-Committee for the Prevention of Discrimination and the Protection of Minorities.
When he died, after a long illness, it marked the end of a life of service and devotion to duty.
The Editors of the Bulletin on Narcotics extend their sincere sympathy to Mr. Ekstrand's family."
