U.S. Opposes Efforts to Legalize Opium in Afghanistan: The Rationale Against Legalization
"In recent months, we have seen several articles and reports advocating the legalization of opium in Afghanistan. While this idea does have surface appeal to some, legalization would be a severe mistake that would undermine efforts to bring a stable democracy to Afghanistan. The governments of Afghanistan, the United Kingdom, and the United States are all opposed to the legalization of opium in Afghanistan, as are the relevant technical agencies of the United Nations. In the following pages, we examine the main arguments raised in favor of legalization as advocated by The Senlis Council, an organization with offices in London, Brussels, Paris, and Kabul. While we use The Senlis Council's proposals as a starting point for our discussion, the points made are applicable to other proposals to legalize opium in Afghanistan. The Senlis Council, which has been quoted by mainstream media as an authority on this subject, has published a report with dangerous conclusions, which are based on the misleading use of statistical information and sources, often simplistic methodologies, and an inattention to the complexities of Afghanistan and the international market for licit opiates."

International Narcotics Control Strategy Report: Volume I, Drug and Chemical Control, March 2011
"The Department of State's International Narcotics Control Strategy Report (INCSR) has been prepared in accordance with section 489 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (the 'FAA,' 22 U.S.C. § 2291). The 2011 INCSR, published in March 2011, covers the year January 1 to December 31, 2010 and is published in two volumes, the second of which covers money laundering and financial crimes. In addition to addressing the reporting requirements of section 489 of the FAA (as well as sections 481(d)(2) and 484(c) of the FAA and section 804 of the Narcotics Control Trade Act of 1974, as amended), the INCSR provides the factual basis for the designations contained in the President's report to Congress on the major drug-transit or major illicit drug producing countries initially set forth in section 591 of the Kenneth M. Ludden Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2002 (P.L. 107-115) (the 'FOAA'), and now made permanent pursuant to section 706 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2003 (P.L. 107-228) (the 'FRAA'). Section 706 of the FRAA requires that the President submit an annual report no later than September 15 identifying each country determined by the President to be a major drug-transit country or major illicit drug producing country. The President is also required in that report to identify any country on the majors list that has 'failed demonstrably . . . to make substantial efforts' during the previous 12 months to adhere to international counternarcotics agreements and to take certain counternarcotics measures set forth in U.S. law. U.S. assistance under the current foreign operations appropriations act may not be provided to any country designated as having 'failed demonstrably' unless the President determines that the provision of such assistance is vital to U.S. national interests or that the country, at any time after the President's initial report to Congress, has made 'substantial efforts' to comply with the counternarcotics conditions in the legislation. This prohibition does not affect humanitarian, counternarcotics, and certain other types of assistance that are authorized to be provided notwithstanding any other provision of law."

International Narcotics Control Strategy Report: Volume II, Money Laundering and Financial Crimes, March 2011
"The Money Laundering and Financial Crimes section of the Department of State‟s International Narcotics Control Strategy Report (INCSR) has been prepared in accordance with section 489 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (the 'FAA,' 22 U.S.C. § 2291). The 2011 INCSR is the 28th annual report prepared pursuant to the FAA. The FAA requires a report on the extent to which each country or entity that received assistance under chapter 8 of Part I of the Foreign Assistance Act in the past two fiscal years has 'met the goals and objectives of the United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances' (the '1988 UN Drug Convention') (FAA § 489(a)(1)(A)). Although the Convention does not contain a list of goals and objectives, it does set forth a number of obligations that the parties agree to undertake. Generally speaking, it requires the parties to take legal measures to outlaw and punish all forms of illicit drug production, trafficking, and drug money laundering, to control chemicals that can be used to process illicit drugs, and to cooperate in international efforts to these ends. The statute lists action by foreign countries on the following issues as relevant to evaluating performance under the 1988 UN Drug Convention: illicit cultivation, production, distribution, sale, transport and financing, money laundering, asset seizure, extradition, mutual legal assistance, law enforcement and transit cooperation, precursor chemical control, and demand reduction."

Money Laundering and Financial Crimes Country Database: May 2011
"Every year, U.S. officials from agencies with anti-money laundering responsibilities meet to assess the money laundering situations in 200 jurisdictions. The review includes an assessment of the significance of financial transactions in the country's financial institutions involving proceeds of serious crime, steps taken or not taken to address financial crime and money laundering, each jurisdiction's vulnerability to money laundering, the conformance of its laws and policies to international standards, the effectiveness with which the government has acted, and the government's political will to take needed actions. The 2011 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report, Money Laundering and Financial Crimes, highlights the most significant steps countries and jurisdictions categorized as 'Major Money Laundering Countries' have taken to improve their anti-money laundering/counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) regimes. The report provides a snapshot of the AML/CFT legal infrastructure of each country or jurisdiction and its capacity to share information and cooperate in international investigations. For each country where they have been completed, the write-up also provides a link to the most recent mutual evaluation performed by or on behalf of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) or the FATF-style regional body to which the country or jurisdiction belongs. When applicable, relevant country reports also provide links to the Department of State's 'Country Reports on Terrorism' so the reader can learn more about issues specific to terrorism and terrorism financing. Providing these links will allow those interested readers to find detailed information on the country's AML/CFT capacity and the effectiveness of its programs."

Establishment of the Human Smuggling and Trafficking Center
The HSTC [Human Smuggling and Trafficking Center] is a joint venture of its participating agencies. It will use all-source information to form the most comprehensive picture of the problem facing federal agencies in their effort to attack terrorist travel, human smuggling, and human trafficking. The HSTC will inform the policy-making process and promote collaborative relationships with appropriate foreign authorities and international organizations. To achieve this, the HSTC will build on existing systems in the law enforcement and counterterrorist communities, such as NCTC [National Counterterrorism Center] Online, as well as create additional structures to further support information-sharing across agency lines regarding human smuggling, human trafficking, and clandestine terrorist travel.

Fact Sheet: Update on Counternarcotics in Afghanistan: August 2008 United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime Poppy Cultivation Survey
"The narcotics problem in Afghanistan is stabilizing, but considerable challenges remain in areas of the country where security is a problem. In the northern and central provinces the number of poppy-free provinces rose from 13 to 18 suggesting that where there is security and good governance counternarcotics policies are effective. In the south and west of the country cultivation is a continuing cause for concern as the lack of security and political will hinder progress. The Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, the United States and its international partners, and the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) are engaged in a comprehensive strategy to fight the narcotics problem in Afghanistan by building on the successes where there is security and good governance, and developing new strategies in areas of the country where security concerns have hampered counternarcotics efforts."

Peru Investigation Report: The April 20, 2001 Peruvian Shootdown Accident
"On April 20, 2001, as part of a Peruvian-U.S. counternarcotics airbridge denial program (ABDP), a Peruvian Air Force (FAP) A-37 aircraft interceptor fired on a civilian floatplane carrying five U.S. citizens after mistaking its behavior for that of a narcotics trafficking aircraft. A U.S. aerial tracking aircraft initially detected the aircraft and provided the information used to follow and intercept the floatplane. Two U.S. citizens in the floatplane were killed during the interception. As a result of this accident, the United States and the Government of Peru (GOP) agreed to a joint investigation of the facts related to the interdiction of the aircraft, owned by the Aviation Company of the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism (ABEM), and make recommendations that would help avoid such a tragedy in the future."

Fighting the Opium Trade in Afghanistan: Myths, Facts, and Sound Policy
"We, the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom, in conjunction with the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, ISAF and international partners, and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, are now engaged in a comprehensive initiative to fight the production and trafficking of opium in Afghanistan. There is significant skepticism among the public and the media regarding the counternarcotics effort. We therefore provide the following paper to correct some of the myths about the illegal drug trade in Afghanistan, and to clarify how our programs address the situation on the ground. In summary: Wealthy land owners in the fertile South increasingly control Afghan poppy cultivation; Concentration of poppy cultivation is directly correlated with insecurity; Poppy cultivation is not expected to increase substantially this year; Poppy has largely disappeared from traditional growing areas, and is now cultivated largely on land where legitimate crops once grew; The number of provinces in which poppy cultivation is found has decreased. Counternarcotics activities are led by the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, not international contractors; U.S. support of aerial eradication is contingent upon the consent of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan; The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the international community agree that forced, targeted, non-negotiated eradication of the fields owned by the wealthy land owners is a necessary law enforcement and counterinsurgency tool; Four high-value drug traffickers have been removed from Afghanistan and indicted abroad."

International Narcotics Control Strategy Report: Volume II - Money Laundering and Financial Crimes [March 2005]
"The 2005 report on Money Laundering and Financial Crimes is a legislatively mandated section of the U.S. Department of States annual International Narcotics Control Strategy Report. This report on Money Laundering and Financial Crimes is based upon the contributions of numerous U.S. Government agencies and international sources. A principal contributor is the U.S. Treasury Departments Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), which, as a member of the international Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units, has unique strategic and tactical perspective on international anti-money laundering developments. The INCSR report, published in March 2005, covers the year January 1 to December 31, 2004 and is published in two volumes, the second of which covers money laundering and financial crimes. The report provides the factual basis for the designations contained in the Presidents report to Congress on the major drug-transit or major illicit drug producing countries initially set forth in section 591 of the Kenneth M. Ludden Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2002 (P.L. 107-115), and now made permanent pursuant to section 706 of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2003 (P.L. 107-228).

Cartels and the U.S. Heroin Epidemic: Combating Drug Violence and Public Health Crisis, Testimony of Daniel Foote, Deputy Assistant Secretary, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, Before the Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, Transnational Crime, Civilian Security, Democracy, Human Rights, and Global Women's Issues, Committee on Foreign Relations, U.S. Senate, One Hundred Fourteenth Congress, Second Session, May 26, 2016
"The flow of illicit narcotics across our shared border with Mexico threatens citizen security in both countries. Recognizing that we have a shared responsibility to address common challenges, in 2007, the United States forged a comprehensive security partnership with Mexico. Through the Merida Initiative, we work in partnership with Mexico to build the capacity of Mexican institutions to counter organized crime, uphold the rule of law, and protect our shared border from the movement of illicit drugs, money, and goods. The need for effective collaboration is now more important than ever. Heroin and fentanyl-laced heroin is a public health crisis in the United States, and Mexican drug trafficking organizations are the primary suppliers of heroin to the United States. We must aggressively respond to this growing threat in concert with our broader work through the Merida Initiative to counter all illicit drugs and to end the impunity with which trafficking organizations are able to operate, putting their leaders in jail, seizing their weapons, drugs, and money, and dismantling their illicit businesses."

The reports vary in the extent of their coverage. For key drug-control countries, where considerable information is available, we have provided comprehensive reports. For some smaller countries or entities where only limited information is available, we have included whatever data the responsible post could provide."

International Narcotics Control Strategy Report, Volume I: Drug and Chemical Control [March 2022]
From the Overview: "Multiple and overlapping political, public health, and law enforcement challenges resulted in a mixed picture for global drug control in 2021. While addressing drug trafficking and abuse is always a formidable task, the intensity of these combined factors in 2021 was unprecedented. For the third year in a row the loss of life from drug overdoses in the United States reached devastating record highs, with over 91,000 deaths in 2020 and over 100,000 in the 12-month period ending in April 2021, according to preliminary figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These figures represent 30 percent and 28.5 percent increases over the previous year, respectively. The deadly synthetic drug fentanyl was responsible for more than 60 percent of overdose deaths, although deaths from methamphetamine, cocaine, and prescription pain medication also increased."

International Narcotics Control Strategy Report, Volume II: Money Laundering [March 2022]
From the Overview: "Despite COVID-19's [coronavirus disease 2019's] continued disruption of governments and commercial activity around the globe in 2021, money laundering remains a serious global threat. Its impact is considerable: it contributes to the breakdown of the rule of law; corruption of public officials; destabilization of economies; and threatens political stability, democracy, and free markets around the globe. Increasingly sophisticated criminal organizations, terrorists, kleptocrats, and other illicit actors continue to seek out the weak links in global anti-money laundering/combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) countermeasures. The 2022 edition of the Congressionally mandated 'International Narcotics Control Strategy Report, Volume II: Money Laundering' focuses specifically on the threat of narcotics-related money laundering. The report reviews the AML legal and institutional infrastructure of jurisdictions and highlights the most significant steps each has taken to improve its AML regime. It also describes key vulnerabilities and deficiencies of these regimes, identifies each jurisdiction's capacity to cooperate in international investigations, and highlights the U.S. provision of AML-related technical assistance."
