Threats to International Peace and Security Caused by the Trade in Illicit
Drugs The People’s Republic of China Li Po Chun United World College
The People’s Republic of China is committed to the betterment of
society through a decrease in the international drug trade. China recognizes the multi-layered and international dimension to drug trafficking. China is also a member of the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs, the East Asia Sub- regional Memorandum of Understanding on Drug Control, and is a part of the Paris Pact Process.
China would like to recognize the inability of the existing programs to
effectively curb drug trafficking. China accounted for 6.09 tons of the global methamphetamine seizures in 2007, the most of any nation in that year. While this is a drop from previous years, and indeed the total drug usage has decreased, drug production and trafficking has increased. China commends the efforts of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) so far, and would like to champion efforts to expand it’s existing programs.
China would encourage expansion of the UNODC’s efforts to facilitate
international discussion and capacity building. China believes that what is needed now are programs that focus on alternative development strategies. China currently is involved with Laos and Myanmar in building alternative farming strategies along their Chinese border[2] and encourages other nations to engage in similar infrastructure building programs with surrounding nations.
China recognizes the extent to which international terrorism, and
trafficking groups are interwoven into their communities and the challenges that accompany eradication of such hidden organizations. China believes that the only effective way to eliminate the illicit drug trade is to build international cooperation that is based on mutual respect and recognition of each nation’s sovereignty. China champions the use of bilateral and multilateral agreements in conjunction with other international efforts in helping eliminate the problem. As Ambassador Liu Zhenmin, Deputy Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations said, China believes that “particular attention to drug prevention education for youth and teenagers, taking such education for middle and primary school students as a fundamental project in the drug control endeavor”[3]. China would encourage the UNODC to begin helping countries create such tailored education programs for countries
