THE ANALYSIS OF THE INTERNATIONAL MATTERS ON DRUG TRAFFICKING AT THE PRESENT STAGE

The article gives an analysis of transnational crime in the sphere of drug trafficking over the past ten years and its impact on certain regions as a real threat to the world community. The authors emphasize the consistency of drug consumption in the world, as well as the invariability of the places of their manufacture and cultivation. The regions with the largest and least seizure of drugs are named. The main sources of this giant criminal business are currently three regions: Afghanistan, South-east Asia (Myanmar) and Latin America (in Mexico and Colombia). Drug trafficking by land accounts for 60 per cent of the total volume and number of seizures, during which an average of 190 kg was seized. The authors consider the practice of law enforcement agencies on the detection and seizure of drugs.
