Results from international narcotics control efforts were mixed during 1989. Worldwide narcotics production reached new levels, corruption undermined enforcement efforts, and a number of governments failed to commit themselves to the reduction of drug production and trafficking. Although precise information is difficult to obtain, the worldwide abuse of illegal drugs is clearly rising. Expanded production of certain drugs, such as heroin, has caused traffickers to look for new markets. Notwithstanding such discouraging circumstances, cocaine seizures within the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean were greater than in any other year; major cocaine traffickers were captured and extradited to the United States for trial; and Colombia's government sustained its campaign against the cocaine cartels. A number of significant international cooperative efforts led to the freezing of millions of dollars in drug-related assets. This report presents U.S. international drug control strategy.
