Précurseurs et Produits Chimiques Fréquemment Utilisés dans la Fabrication Illicite de Stupéfiants et de Substances Psychotropes

La plupart des trafics de drogue se font clandestinement et sont séparés du commerce légal. Mais tout n'est pas secret pour autant et le trafic de précurseurs recoupe souvent le commerce légitime et les contrôles douaniers, par example lorsqu’il s’agit de s'approvisionner en matériaux ou de transporter des expéditions. Ces points de croisement offrent des possibilités d'arrêter le trafic en utilisant des outils de réglementation et d'interdiction. Le contrôle de l'approvisionnement en produits chimiques nécessaires à la fabrication et au traitement des médicaments est un tel outil dont cette publication rend compte.

Psychotropic Substances / Substances Psychotropes / Sustancias Sicotrópicas

Currently one hundred sixteen psychotropic substances are controlled under the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances. Governments must provide statistical returns on manufacture, imports and exports of psychotropic substances to the  International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) on theforms supplied for that purpose. In addition, they should provide complementary information on psychotropic substances, based on recommendations of the Economic and Social Council. The controls foreseen under the 1971 Convention together with the additional controls required by the Economic and Social Council have significantly reduced the diversion of psychotropic substances. INCB publishes each year information on the licit movement of psychotropic substances in a technical publication .
