The Force had intercepted tons of heroin and other drugs bound for Europe and North America.

Enhanced law enforcement efforts have yielded higher volumes of drug seizures.

The efforts of UNODC will strengthen the drug interdiction and border control capacity of national and regional drug law enforcement bodies.

Both the number of countries reporting heroin and cocaine seizures as well as amounts of these drugs seized increased in the 1990s compared with the previous decade, although the amounts seized registered the steeper rise.

The DEA continues to place marijuana alongside heroin and LSD as drugs with high abuse potential even though the DEA's own former chief administrative law judge, Francis Young, disagreed with this.

This, in turn, may diminish the impact that seizures of international trafficking might have upon illicit drug supply.

27. With few exceptions, countries reporting seizures of drugs usually also report illicit consumption of the same types of drug.

At the national level, its activities are coordinated with the National Police, the Special Drug Trafficking Unit, and the Ministry of the Interior.

Seizures of such drugs have also stabilized, thus suggesting that their illicit manufacture is not rising.

(i) To facilitate mutual cooperation regarding the identification, seizure, forfeiture and sharing of proceeds proven to be derived from drug related criminality

One constraint upon efforts to intercept international drug trafficking appears to be that, as some of the seized drugs are replaced, if illicit drug demand is not reduced through interception, then seizures may have the inadvertent effect of stimulating illicit cultivation.

Despite the rising trend in seizures of drugs, the worldwide drug problem had shown no significant decline during the past year.

In Albania, the drug interdiction and seizure capacity of law enforcement agencies was upgraded, inter agency cooperation enhanced and awareness on the dangers of drug abuse raised.

The seizure patterns in central European and CIS countries may be explained in part by different drug trafficking problems in those countries, namely, lower apparent domestic consumption and therefore fewer small scale seizures related to domestic drug problems.

China was drafting a drug control law and, in recent years, had made remarkable progress in drug control enforcement and demand reduction.

To complement that activity, UNDCP will increase its own efforts to elicit from Governments greater information concerning individual seizures of drugs.

39. Supports the fight against the illicit trafficking in drugs and precursors within Afghanistan and in neighbouring States and countries along trafficking routes, including increased cooperation among them to strengthen anti narcotic controls to curb the drug flow

50. Supports the fight against the illicit trafficking in drugs and precursors within Afghanistan and in neighbouring States and countries along trafficking routes, including increased cooperation among them to strengthen anti narcotic controls to curb the drug flow

The international community should therefore undertake renewed efforts to develop and implement an integrated international strategy, with the cooperation of Afghan authorities, in order to establish a reliable anti drugs infrastructure in Afghanistan and strengthen the anti drugs security belt along that country's borders.
