Trafficking in illicit drugs

The OSCE works with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime to help participating States to implement the UN international anti-drug conventions. It also promotes regional co-operation between law enforcement agencies in combating illicit drug trafficking and the illicit manufacturing of drugs. Special attention is paid to the problem of opiates being smuggled out of Afghanistan and chemical precursors being smuggled into Afghanistan. Since 2009, the OSCE has helped to provide drug enforcement training for Afghan police officers.
