Résumé : |
The Department of State's International Narcotics Control Strategy Report (INCSR) - due to Congress March 1st annually - is prepared in accordance with §489 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (the "FAA," 22 U.S.C. §2291). The INCSR is the United States Government's country-by-country two volume report that describes the efforts to attack all aspects of the international drug trade, chemical control, money laundering and financial crimes.
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. The COVID-19 pandemic had an outsized impact for a second year on both public health overall and efforts to curb drug trafficking. The pandemic altered trafficking routes, law enforcement responses, and government resources intended for counterdrug operations. And, while COVID- 19 resulted in a staggering number of American deaths, fentanyl overdoses have remained the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45 since 2020. Synthetic opioids remain the foremost drug-related threat to the United States. The extreme potency of these opioids ensures that the profit margin to traffickers is huge, even for small amounts. In contrast to the plant-based drugs used to produce cocaine and heroin, synthetic opioids are inexpensive to produce, can be manufactured anywhere without having to construct elaborate labs or processing facilities, and are easy to conceal and transport in small amounts simply by mail. Further, because the chemicals used to produce illicit fentanyl still have legal uses, it is very difficult to control their diversion. [Extract] |
