The Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission (CICAD) has issued new reports evaluating progress against illegal drugs in its 34 member countries and the region as a whole. The reports, which cover 2001 and 2002, include recommendations on steps each country can take to strengthen its anti-drug efforts.
Mexico’s Attorney General and Chairman of CICAD, Rafael Macedo de la Concha, said the reports – the latest round under the Multilateral Evaluation Mechanism (MEM) – will help the countries set priorities as they work together against this common problem. “This hemisphere is setting an example for the rest of the world to follow in terms of international cooperation to combat drugs,” Macedo said. “The MEM gives us an effective tool that ensures follow-up and accountability in this effort.”
The 2001-2002 hemispheric overview, which was issued along with the national reports, paints a picture of mixed results. For example, while virtually every country evaluated now has a national anti-drug strategy in place, many of these are under-funded or lack a system to measure compliance.
Similarly, most countries have set up specialized financial intelligence units to track and analyze suspicious transactions, but so far these have largely been deficient in combating money laundering.
The hemispheric and national reports – available in their entirety on the Internet (www.cicad.oas.org) – represent the second round of MEM evaluations. This evaluation system was negotiated by the CICAD member countries, in response to a mandate from the 1998 Summit of the Americas. A complete evaluation is done every two years, with interim years looking at how the recommendations are being carried out.
The new reports evaluate how each country measures up to a series of 83 indicators covering all aspects of the drug problem. All 34 CICAD countries are evaluated, and experts from all the countries participate in the evaluation process.
The Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission (known by its Spanish acronym, CICAD), representing 34 countries of the Americas, put the MEM into operation in 1999. The creation of an objective, governmental evaluation mechanism to improve cooperation and coordination on the drug issue was required by the Second Summit of the Americas.
The complete progress report issued today is available on the Internet http://www.cicad.oas.org/ or by request in hard copy or on a CD-ROM.
