Abstract
This paper describes the extent of the problem of international drug trafficking. The paper analyzes the reasons for drug trafficking and the changing patterns in recent times, presenting an overview of the major drugs being trafficked internationally. The related problem of money laundering through which most of global drug trade is financed is also examined in the paper.
From the Paper
"A number of drugs including cocaine, opiates, cannabis, and synthetic drugs such as MDMA (ecstasy) and methamphetamines are considered illegal in most parts of the world. Declaring a substance illegal, however, does not mean that its use or demand can be eliminated as was so famously experienced in the United States after the alcohol prohibition in the 1920s. It just results in the creation of a black market in which the demand for the banned substances (in this case, illicit drugs) is met by organized criminals. Similarly, the current worldwide demand for illicit drugs is largely met through international drug trafficking-a multi billion dollar cross-border business that links the growers and producers of the illicit drugs with the consumers."

Abstract
This paper is about the drug trafficking problems of the Caribbean. The author examines the Caribbean region as a long standing area where illegal substances have been grown and sold. The people are poverty stricken and sell drugs as a means to make money. The author looks into the Caribbean?s climate and location which make it an ideal place to grow and sell drugs. The people are able to transport drugs to other countries through the use of planes, boats, etc. The paper goes on to discuss how this poses as a threat to all countries because it makes drugs available which leads to drug problems for their citizens.
From the paper:
"The Caribbean is known for its agriculturally equipped weather conditions, which makes for most islands to be very fertile. Many farmers in the Caribbean grow drugs as part of their produce to earn more money. They can then sell the illegal substances to islanders, tourists, and then ship the rest off to be sold to other countries? citizens. This poses as a threat to the health of all people who are able to buy drugs as a result of drug trafficking in the Caribbean. It also poses a threat to governments because they have to use their funding on programs to educate citizens about the dangers of drugs as well as rehabilitate those citizens that are addicted to drugs and suffer from drug abuse."

Abstract
This paper discusses the background, problems of illegal drugs trafficking and the methods being used to stop the trafficking of drugs in the United States. This paper reveals that money seized in drug stings and received from fines for drug offenders is a billion dollar industry for the American government. The author believes that completely ending the entire drug trafficking business is almost impossible because there are too many loopholes and too much money at stake for both the dealers and the government.
From the Paper
"The largest distributor of drugs, especially cocaine, comes from Columbia. Interagency intelligence assessment statistics say that nearly sixty-five percent of all cocaine goes through the southern borders of the United States. Columbian dealers send the drugs through Mexico, whose laws are not nearly as strict, and the dealers in Mexico bring them across the border. They come through Texas and New Mexico by ground and California by ground, air and seaports."

From the Paper
"This research project is designed to identify the primary factors related to the high incidence rate of young African American women who commonly sell drugs or engage in drug trafficking activity in the nation's urban centers. The working hypothesis states that poverty and related economic factors directly impact the study populations' proclivity to engage in drug trafficking as an economic alternative. While this might seem criminally obvious, there are social and cultural implications related to the study outcomes which the criminal justice system must learn to accommodate for such as devising adequate drug treatment programs for repeat offenders that better assess and target the contributing behaviors (Laudet, Cleland, Magura, Vogel & Knight, 2004).

This research paper describes and analyzes drug and arms trafficking in Afghanistan since 1973, places them in historical context, examines their effects outside of Afghanistan and discusses possible remedial solutions to the problems they have created.
Over the past thirty years, Afghanistan has sustained itself largely from the proceeds of a clandestine or black market economy based on the production, processing and export of opium, heroin and other narcotic drugs and the smuggling of arms and other goods. These activities have developed out of the devastation, political fragmentation and economic dislocation produced by nearly thirty years of civil unrest and the Soviet invasion and ten year occupation of Afghanistan (1979-1989), and ..."

From the Paper
"According to a separate report, "Migrant trafficking and smuggling has become a global business generating huge profits for traffickers and organized crime syndicates." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) In fact in a study conducted by IOM reports "...an estimated 15 to 30 million irregular migrants worldwide." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) Sadly a report of the U.S. Department of Justice states that an estimated "...700,000 women and children are trafficked yearly across borders." (Counter-Trafficking, 2006) The reason stated that so many of these migrants go unreported is due to the inherent "...clandestine nature..." involved in so many of the lives and migration of these individuals."

From the Paper
"Trafficking, debt bondage, forced labor, and other abuse commonly suffered by women during migration from Thailand to Japan, as well as their employment in Japan is stated to "constitute violations of the human rights of the women." Further stated is that "These rights are enumerated in international conventions that Japan and Thailand have acceded to or ratified, thereby committing their governments to take the steps necessary to uphold these rights and to provide redress when violations occur." Discrimination suffered in the two countries is illustrated by the numbers of women who suffer and yet the international obligations of the government to check the facilitation of these crimes by the government officials reflects that discriminatory protection in human rights issues. The violation of prohibiting discrimination in the human rights protection is clearly a violation of the laws set out by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (IPPCR)."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the illegal drug market in the United States is one of the most profitable in the world and attracts the most sophisticated and aggressive drug traffickers. It describes many methods of trafficking including the use of a collapsible rubber fuel "bladder". It also looks at how the United States Customs Service, an agency of the U. S. Treasury Department, is the primary enforcement agency protecting the United States and the only border agency with extensive air, land and marine interdiction forces and its own intelligence branch.
From the Paper
"The traffic and distribution of illegal drugs involves diverse groups. Criminal groups operating from South America "smuggle cocaine and heroin into the United States via a variety of routes, including land routes through Mexico, maritime routes along Mexico's east and west coasts, sea routes through the Caribbean, and international air corridors." Then there are criminal groups operating in Mexico that smuggle cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, amphetamine, and marijuana across the Southwest Border into the United States for distribution. Aside from the foreign import of drugs, there are domestic organizations that cultivate, produce, manufacture, and distribute illegal drugs such as marijuana, methamphetamine, phencyclidine, PCP, and lysergic acid diethyamide, and LSD."

The Columbian Drug War, 2002.
A paper which examines the extent to which drug trafficking and terrorism have played a role in Colombia's civil war.

Abstract
In 1999, Columbia negotiated a three-year stabilization agreement named "Plan Columbia" with the International Monetary Fund, which established certain policy targets that it had to achieve in order to borrow money. The paper examines that although this money was given to resolve the civil conflict, curb drug trafficking, modernize legal and military institutions and strengthen the economy, in fact most of the money goes to the military in order to fight the FARC rebels who control vast areas of the coca fields. The paper examines the reasons behind the United States' eagerness to aid the Columbian government, despite the fact that most of the money is obviously not being used for "anti-drug" programs.
From the Paper
"However, statistics show that Colombian police and military are not fighting a drug war but rather a civil war against leftwing rebels that are rapidly gaining strength. However, the U.S. is completely aware that the money is not going to drugs and actually has an interest in the civil war because Colombia is strategically located, bordering both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. In addition, it has plentiful oil and mineral reserves that multinational corporations have been exploiting for years, often under the armed guard of the Colombian military. Therefore, the U.S. is supplying aid in the name of drugs but the money is used to keep control of the territory of Colombia."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the history of anti-drug legislation in the U.S., beginning with the Civil War. The author opens with a discussion of the shifts in official and grassroots attitudes toward drug use -- from the Great Awakening period with its Anti-Salon League to the 1970s, when even the Surgeon General appeared 'soft' on cocaine. Then the author examines how education, healthcare and politics have all played a role in drug policy and public opinion on the issue.
From the Paper
"The "Great Awakening" also swept the United States during this period. This movement was a fundamentalist Christian movement that preached drugs and alcohol keep people away from God. This movement was largely confined to rural states and territories led to the creation of the "Anti-Salon League" and the Women's Christian Temperance Movement. Indeed, the push for the abolition of alcohol and drugs was a parallel movement with giving women the right to vote. The Suffrage Movement was started by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. These women thought that most violence against women and children was directly linked to alcohol. Racism also had a hand in the advancement of the Temperance movement. The suspicion and prejudice against the growing immigrant population of the United States fueled fears that the use of Alcoholic beverages by ethnic groups, like Irish-Catholics, Italians, and Germans, was a threat to American society. All of these forces, Suffrage, a population that was addicted to pain medication, and prejudice found a common cause, that was, to remove alcohol and drugs from the United States. Dr. McCauley describes how the "Pure Food and Drug Act," the first anti-drug and alcohol legislation, was pushed through Congress."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Complex problems require complex solutions and it is clear that the United States alone will only be able to do so much in the battle against the enormous international human rights crisis of sex trafficking in children today. Fortunately, the United States as well as more and more members of the international community are recognizing that simply enacting new laws in isolation of more comprehensive solutions will fail to adequately address the insidious problems associated with sex trafficking. According to Mathews (2005), in an attempt to supplement the various legal and political initiatives underway to fight the sex trafficking industry, the United States has sought the assistance of a number of human rights groups and other nongovernmental organizations (Mathews, 2005). For example, Gary Haugen, director of the human rights group, International Justice Mission (IJM), is a former federal prosecutor who uses controversial tactics to infiltrate the underground network of sex trafficking; IJM was recently awarded a million dollar grant from the U.S. government to continue its work (Mathews, 2005)."
