CICAD member states are faced with many
challenges in responding to the problems of illicit drug cultivation,
production, distribution and use. The CICAD Commission uses Groups of
Experts in various thematic areas to help member states respond to these
challenges.
As required, the CICAD Commission calls on member states to nominate
experts to meet and address specific problems or to identify and respond
to new trends, threats or problems. In the process the Groups of Experts
identify and develop resources, tools, guides and other reference
materials. These tools or resources are made available for use by member
states as suits their needs to respond to these challenges. These
materials are prepared and offered to member states as resource
materials or “best practices”. Member states are under no obligation
to use these resources or implement the provisions or suggestions that
they contain. They may use or draw on any portion of a given resource
tool that suits their needs.
The Groups of Experts that CICAD has established related to supply
reduction and control include the following:
- Group of Experts on Maritime Narcotrafficking
- Group of Experts on Chemical Substances
- Group of Experts on Pharmaceutical Products
You will find the reports from the meetings of these Groups of Experts
and the resource materials that they have developed below.
