PREFACE A regional project on “Strengthening Drug Law enforcement capabilities in South Asia” was established in July 2008 as a response to the drug trafficking problem in South Asia requiring international cooperation. The success of any enforcement strategy depends upon drug enforcement professionals whose skills need to be constantly upgraded. There is therefore, need for countries in the region to strengthen training capacities and formulate training strategies. The project on “Strengthening Drug Law enforcement capabilities in South Asia” is being implemented in partnership with the National Academy of Customs, Excise and Narcotics (NACEN) of the Government of India which is an ideal Resource Centre for training law enforcement officers of countries in the region. The project objective is the creation of an institutional and quality training and consultation capacity in the region on drug law enforcement and to improve the knowledge, awareness, cooperation and results in the field of drug control and organized crime. This will contribute to limiting the spread of drug trafficking, abuse and organized crime in the region. Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka are the participating countries. The project formulated a Regional Training plan on the basis of which two Training of Trainers (ToT) programmes, two Regional training programmes and two National programmes in each country are to be conducted in the first phase of the project. The ToTs and the Regional training programmes were based on an assessment of the training needs of all the participating countries carried out by the project. The project also addresses the issue of pharmaceutical use in the region. This publication, “Curriculum on drug law enforcement” was formulated for the benefit of drug enforcement personnel, institutions and trainers. This formed the basis for developing a Training Manual and Guidelines for Trainers on Drug Law Enforcement. The Course Curriculum draws an overarching and comprehensive training strategy on drug law enforcement designed to assist the training institutions in formulating their national curriculum on drug law enforcement. The publication also suggests model course schedules designed for a variety of drug law enforcement training programmes. A list of country wise resource persons identified from within the region has also been appended for reference of training institutions and drug law enforcement agencies.

CHAPTER

1

INTERNATIONAL LAW AND CO-OPERATION Introduction In 1909, one hundred years ago, drugs were unregulated and widely abused. Consumption of opiates in China alone was estimated to be more than 3,000 tons of morphine equivalent. The International Opium Commission, convened in 1909 in Shanghai, China, set out to change that situation and spurred efforts to create an international drug control system. This was the starting point for an international treaty system which today rests on the three main international drug control treaties: the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances and the 1988 United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances. Multilateral drug control should be considered one of the greatest achievements of the 20th century. Over 95 per cent of United Nations Member States are party to the three Conventions covering 99 per cent of the world's population making them some of the most widely accepted international instruments in the world. This chapter covers the three UN Conventions, SAARC Convention pertaining to the region and the importance of international, regional and bilateral cooperation envisaged in these international instruments.

GLOBAL / REGIONAL DRUG TRAFFICKING SCENARIO Introduction Drug trafficking does not recognize national borders. Drug trafficking is therefore, to be dealt with not only from a country specific perspective but also from a region and international point of view. Trafficking from one country to another or from one region to another depends upon various factors, the most important being the nature of supply and demand. Trafficking trends need to be understood and analyzed with a larger vision. This chapter covers the magnitude and trafficking trends of various drugs. A drug law enforcement officer must be made aware of these trends. Knowledge of these will enable him / her to exercise better judgment during interdiction. Drug related organized crimes including terrorism have also been covered for a better understanding of their linkages. As a matter of academic interest a comparative study of the existing legal provisions of countries participating in the project has been appended on selected generic parameters.

NARCOTIC DRUGS AND PSYCHOTROPIC SUBSTANCES Introduction It is important for drug law enforcement officers to understand the various kinds of drugs that can possibly be abused. The categorization, types and classification of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances therefore, assume importance as an essential ingredient to drug law enforcement. This chapter deals with the types of drugs and their classification - plant based, semi synthetic, synthetic and pharmaceuticals, their illicit cultivation and production, and importantly, the negative individual and social effects of their use.

IDENTIFICATION OF NARCOTICS DRUGS AND PSYCHOTROPIC SUBSTANCES Introduction Identification of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances is integral to the duties and functions of drug law enforcement officers. They must have the capacity and ability to identify suspected seized material whether it is a narcotic drug or psychotropic substance. This is possible by using a simple and easy to use drug detection kit. Although in the case of some legal regimes, such identification may not constitute evidence for trial purposes, it nevertheless becomes imperative that the substance be identified before it is seized. This chapter explains the manner of conducting such tests and the equipments that are available for the purpose.

CHAPTER

INVESTIGATION Introduction Investigation in drug offence cases commences from case initiation and includes raid operations, searches, interrogation, crime scene examination, evidence handling, presentation to courts, and storage and disposal of seized narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances. Specialized investigation techniques such as controlled delivery and under cover operations are tools in the hands of law enforcement officers to culminate any criminal investigation. Procedures may vary from country to country but from the point of view of law enforcement, there are certain generic aspects which are common. Such aspects of investigation are intended to be covered under this chapter.

ASSET FORFEITURE Introduction One of the proactive methods to curb drug trafficking is to freeze and forfeit the assets derived from illicit drug trafficking thus depriving traffickers of their ill gotten wealth. This serves as a huge deterrent and discourages traffickers from indulging again in such activities. Drug law enforcement officers must therefore be aware of the methods adopted by traffickers in laundering drug money and enhance their capacity in conducting financial investigation to trace and identify such assets. This chapter deals with these aspects and guides officers in practical aspects of financial investigation.

CHAPTER

PRECURSOR CHEMICAL CONTROL Introduction Precursor chemicals are chemicals that have large legitimate use but can also be used in the production of illicit drugs. Exercising controls over them is therefore, an integral part of any drug law enforcement strategy. This chapter indicates chemicals that need to be controlled, collection of intelligence on the diversion of precursor chemicals and investigation techniques. The chapter also deals with diversion of equipment for setting up clandestine laboratories and dismantling them. The role of chemical industry and trade in preventing diversion of precursor chemicals from legitimate trade is crucial and the chapter therefore, emphasizes the need for cooperation between them and law enforcement. §

This “Curriculum on Drug Law Enforcement” draws an overarching and comprehensive training strategy on drug law enforcement designed to assist the training institutions in formulating their national curriculum on drug law enforcement. This was formulated for the benefit of drug law enforcement personnel, institutions and trainers. The publication also suggests model course schedules designed for a variety of drug law enforcement training programmes. A list of country wise resource persons identified in South Asia has also been appended for reference of training institutions and drug law enforcement agencies.
