Résumé : |
Heroin is the most dangerous drug worldwide. This report presents data on the distribution of trafficking flows for Afghan opiates and their health impact throughout the world. Trafficking in Afghan opiates is also very lucrative, generating some US$ 61 billion in illicit funds in 2009 (out of US$ 68 billion for the global illicit opiate trade, including other production sources). Most of this money went into the pockets of traffickers all along the transnational heroin distribution routes, and some went to insurgents.
A worrying development that requires international attention is the increasing use of Africa as a way station for Afghan heroin shipments to Europe, North America and Oceania. This is fuelling heroin consumption in Africa, a region generally ill-equipped to provide treatment to drug users and to fight off the corrupting effects of drug money. Another new trend is the growing use of sea and air transport to move Afghan heroin around the world, as well as to smuggle chemicals used in heroin production into Afghanistan (acetic anhydride). Traffickers in Afghan heroin have traditionally relied on overland routes, and law enforcement services will need to respond to this new threat. [Extact of the publication] |
