Report of the WESTERN HEMISPHERE DRUG POLICY COMMISSION by Western Hemisphere Drug Poli Commission Pdf
On behalf of the Western Hemisphere Drug Policy Commission, and pursuant to Public Law114-323, we are pleased to submit the following report with our review of US foreign policy inthe Americas to reduce the flow of illicit drugs and the damage associated with drug trafficking.Our recommendations provide a roadmap for cost-effective, evidence-based drug controlpolicies that will address their fundamental objective: reducing the number of American liveslost to drugabuse.Drug trafficking is a complex, constantly evolving threat that requires a comprehensive butflexible approach. We believe our recommendations will enable the US government toimplement a long-term, inter-agency strategy that can be adapted to the needs of our LatinAmerican partners. It also provides for an evidence-based approach based on relevantindicators and periodic assessments.Over the past year and a half, the Western Hemisphere Drug Policy (WHDPC) has heldmeetings and workshops with US officials, foreign diplomats, and independent experts in thefields of drug control and foreign assistance. Commissioners and staff members also traveledto Colombia, Mexico, and Central America to assess US policies in the field.The findings and recommendations in this report have been agreed to unanimously by the eightMembers of the Commission. We call on Congress and the President to consider this reportfully and take action to address the ongoing tragedy of illegal drug abuse and trafficking

Latin America and the Caribbean by Clare Ribando Seelke Pdf
Drug trafficking is viewed as a primary threat to citizen security and U.S. interests in Latin America and the Caribbean despite decades of anti-drug efforts by the United States and partner governments. The production and trafficking of popular illicit drugs--cocaine, marijuana, opiates, and methamphetamine--generates a multi-billion dollar black market in which Latin American criminal and terrorist organizations thrive. These groups challenge state authority in source and transit countries where governments are often fragile and easily corrupted. Mexican drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) largely control the U.S. illicit drug market and have been identified by the U.S. Department of Justice as the 'greatest organized crime threat to the United States.' Drug trafficking-related crime and violence in the region has escalated in recent years, raising the drug issue to the forefront of U.S. foreign policy concerns. Since the mid-1970s, the U.S. government has invested billions of dollars in anti-drug assistance programs aimed at reducing the flow of Latin American-sourced illicit drugs to the United States. Most of these programs have emphasized supply reduction tools, particularly drug crop eradication and interdiction of illicit narcotics, and have been designed on a bilateral or subregional level. Many would argue that the results of U.S.-led drug control efforts have been mixed. Temporary successes in one country or sub-region have often led traffickers to alter their cultivation patterns, production techniques, and trafficking routes and methods in order to avoid detection. As a result of this so-called 'balloon effect, ' efforts have done little to reduce the overall availability of illicit drugs in the United States. In addition, some observers assert that certain mainstays of U.S.-funded counterdrug programs, particularly aerial spraying to eradicate drug crops, have had unintended social and economic consequences. The Obama Administration has continued U.S. support for Plan Colombia and the Mérida Initiative, but is gradually broadening the focus of those aid packages to address the societal and institutional effects of the drug trade and related criminality and violence, rather than mainly funding supply control efforts. Newer programs like the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI) include more of an emphasis on rule of law, anti-corruption, and community and youth development programs. In order to complement these international efforts, President Obama and his top advisers have acknowledged the role that U.S. drug demand has played in fueling the drug trade in the region and requested increased funding for prevention and treatment programs. The 111th Congress has influenced U.S. drug control policy in Latin America by appropriating certain types and levels of funding for counterdrug assistance programs in P.L. 111-8, P.L. 111-32, and P.L. 111-117. Congress has also conditioned the provision of antidrug funding on the basis of human rights and other reporting requirements. It has sought to ensure that counterdrug programs are implemented in tandem with judicial reform, anti-corruption, and human rights programs. Several bills address counternarcotics issues in the region, including House-passed H.R. 2410 (Berman), House-passed H.R. 2134 (Engel) and S. 3172 (Menendez). Congress has been active in evaluating drug assistance programs through multiple oversight hearings. This report provides an overview of the drug flows in the Americas and U.S. antidrug assistance programs in the region. It also raises some policy issues for Congress to consider as it exercises oversight of U.S. antidrug programs and policies in the Western Hemisphere.
