The Fight against Drug Traffic
1. The most serious crime against society today is the trafficking and abuse of drugs.
2. The fight against drug traffic is the subject of real anti-crime policies at national levels. It is now clear that, since the 1970s, drugs trafficking has become the most organized, most professional and most profitable of all illegal activities. The trafficker of today has nothing in common* with typical street-corner pusher**; he is ruthless, highly- organized and mobile. It is well known that law enforcement services throughuot the world have increased the efforts and manpower in an attempt to contain this growing threat. Nevertheless, drug trafficking continues to gain momentum.***
3. Interpol is adopting its structures and working methods to the new situation by setting up a special group at the General Secretariat.
4. Nowadays, most of the large international trafficking gangs engage the operations involving heroin and cocain as well as cannabis. The results of international police cooperation induced national governments to revise their policies and to devote more resources to combating international drug trafficking.
5. The Drugs Sub-Division of Interpol handles these problems. Its stuff consists of 26 police officers and analysts from 18 different countries around the world.
*nothing in common- ничего общего
**pusher- торговец, “толкач”
