GPI Projects Bring Power to Nangarhar Province
This report highlights developments in the Good Performer's Initiative (GPI) in Afghanistan. From the text: "The GPI is an incentives program that delivers development aid directly to communities taking strong action against poppy cultivation in Afghanistan. The UK funds the program, and support the Afghan Ministry of Counter Narcotics to implement local projects. Based on Provincial Development Plans, GPI projects help build infrastructure, employ local citizens, and give tangible recognition to governors committed to reducing and eliminating poppy in their provinces. Since the Initiative began in 2006, the number of poppy-free provinces has jumped from 6 to 20."

International Narcotics Control Strategy Report: Volume I: Drug and Chemical Control [March 2009]
"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).

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').

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."

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 2008]
"This year's Volume II of the INCSR on Money Laundering highlights continuing threats and vulnerabilities posed by money laundering and terrorist financing to U.S. national security and to the stability of the global financial system. The 2008 Volume II also reflects the current and latest trends used by criminals and terrorists to launder, move, and store the fruits of their illicit activities. Some of these methodologies include: the continuing use of banks and money service businesses as gateways to the global financial system; bulk cash smuggling; trade-based money laundering and value transfer; legal entities such off-shore financial centers and international business centers; casinos and 'virtual' casinos; and new payment methods sometimes also identified as 'e-money.' Twenty-five years ago, the Department of State was mandated by Congress to examine the challenges and threats from narcotics-related money laundering. Although it is sometimes difficult to obtain data on money laundering systems and trends, via reporting reflected in this edition from our worldwide diplomatic posts and the domestic law enforcement and regulatory communities, we are able to glean increasingly greater insights. We can say with certainty that the use of offshore financial centers, casinos, and the Internet is demonstrably growing at alarming rates. Virtual money laundering is a reality and at this time is immune to traditional money laundering countermeasures. If ignored, 'virtual' money laundering will pose a threat to our financial sector. In the following section, we expand on one facet of the virtual threat: 'mobile payments.'"

International Narcotics Control Strategy Report Volume I: Drug and Chemical Control [March 2008]
"In attempting to evaluate whether countries and certain entities are meeting the goals and objectives of the 1988 UN Drug Convention, the Department has used the best information it has available. The 2008 INCSR covers countries that range from major drug producing and drug-transit countries, where drug control is a critical element of national policy, to small countries or entities where drug issues or the capacity to deal with them are minimal. 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. The country chapters report upon actions taken-including plans, programs, and, where applicable, timetables-toward fulfillment of Convention obligations. Because the 1988 UN Drug Convention's subject matter is so broad and availability of information on elements related to performance under the Convention varies widely within and among countries, the Department's views on the extent to which a given country or entity is meeting the goals and objectives of the Convention are based on the overall response of the country or entity to those goals and objectives. Reports will often include discussion of foreign legal and regulatory structures. Although the Department strives to provide accurate information, this report should not be used as the basis for determining legal rights or obligations under U.S. or foreign law."

International Narcotics Control Strategy Report, Volume II: Money Laundering and Financial Crimes [March 2007]
"In attempting to evaluate whether countries and certain entities are meeting the goals and objectives of the 1988 UN Drug Convention, the Department has used the best information it has available. The 2007 INCSR covers countries that range from major drug producing and drug-transit countries, where drug control is a critical element of national policy, to small countries or entities where drug issues or the capacity to deal with them are minimal. In addition to identifying countries as major sources of precursor chemicals used in the production of illicit narcotics, the INCSR is mandated to identify major money laundering countries (FAA §489(a)(3)(C)). The INCSR is also required to report findings on each country's adoption of laws and regulations to prevent narcotics-related money laundering (FAA §489(a)(7)(C)). This report is that section of the INCSR that reports on money laundering and financial crimes. A major money laundering country is defined by statute as one 'whose financial institutions engage in currency transactions involving significant amounts of proceeds from international narcotics trafficking' (FAA § 481(e)(7)). However, the complex nature of money laundering transactions today makes it difficult in many cases to distinguish the proceeds of narcotics trafficking from the proceeds of other serious crime. Moreover, financial institutions engaging in transactions involving significant amounts of proceeds of other serious crime are vulnerable to narcotics-related money laundering. This year's list of major money laundering countries recognizes this relationship by including all countries and other jurisdictions, whose financial institutions engage in transactions involving significant amounts of proceeds from all serious crime."

It is the 24th annual report prepared pursuant to the FAA. The INCSR addresses 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. 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 the 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."

Presidential Determination on the Major Methamphetamine Precursor Chemical Exporting and Importing Countries [February 28, 2007]
On February 28, 2007 President George W. Bush issued this Memorandum to the Secretary of State, which relates to the "largest exporting and importing countries of certain precursor chemicals." More specifically, the President states the following: "Pursuant to Section 490(b)(1)(A) of the Foreign Assistance Act, I hereby determine that the top five exporting and importing countries of pseudoephedrine and ephedrine in 2005 (Belgium, China, Germany, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom) have cooperated fully with the United States or have taken adequate steps on their own to achieve full compliance with the goals and objectives established by the United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances. You are directed to publish this determination in the Federal Register, and are authorized and directed to transmit to Congress the report under Section 722 of the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act."

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."

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.

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). 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 to adhere to international counternarcotics agreements and to take certain counternarcotics measures set forth in U.S. law."

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."
