The 2021 Annual Report takes a detailed look at illicit financial flows related to drug trafficking and finds a far-reaching negative impact on society - from corruption and bribery to increased organized crime, violence, poverty and inequality.
In its 2021 Annual Report, the International Narcotics Control Board:
- expresses concern about the wide negative impact that illicit financial flows related to drug trafficking have on society and development;
- warns that millions of dollars are lost annually to organized criminal groups from illicit financial flows, particularly harming developing nations;
- finds increasing evidence of a link between exposure to social media and drug use as platforms offer new opportunities to buy controlled substances, glamourizing negative behaviour;
- remains concerned about regional disparities in availability of pain relief medication and calls on governments to equalize access; and
- warns of significant shortcomings in controls over the manufacture, trade and distribution of precursor chemicals, urges governments to improve regulatory frameworks.
