LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

It is my privilege to inform readers of the successful completion of the 124th International
Training Course on “The Effective Prevention and Enhancement of Treatment for Drug Abusers
in the Criminal Justice Process”, which took place from 21 April to 12 June 2003. In this course
we welcomed 11 Japanese and 15 overseas participants: 12 from Asia, 2 from Africa and 1 fromCentral America. They included police, public prosecutors, judges, correctional officers,
probation officers and other high-ranking public officials. As this newsletter demonstrates, thecourse was extremely productive. It consisted of individual presentations, group workshop
sessions, visits to relevant criminal justice agencies, and presentations by visiting experts, faculty
members and ad hoc lecturers.
During the eight-week period, the participants diligently and comprehensively examinedmeasures to prevent drug abuse and studied ways in which the treatment of drug abusers in thecriminal justice process could be enhanced. This was accomplished primarily through a
comparative analysis of the current situation and the problems encountered in tackling theseissues. The participants’ in-depth discussions enabled them to put forth effective and practicalsolutions.
Drug abuse problems have a huge impact on all fields of the criminal justiceadministration. In view of the seriousness of drug related problems, many countries have taken
specific measures to combat drug abuse. In addition international instruments such as the United
Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (1988)
to promote international cooperation in drug control, have been implemented. Meanwhile inorder to effectively cope with drug abuse problems, drug demand reduction policies also need to
be incorporated in a comprehensive strategy against drug abuse. The General Assembly of theUnited Nations at the 20th Special Session in 1988 recognized the need for such a strategy. Itemphasized the need for early detection and prevention of drug abuse and appropriate
rehabilitative services.
The purpose of this International Training Course was to offer participants an opportunity
to share information on the current situation of drug abuse; punishments; prevention andtreatment for drug abuse; and the challenges faced by each country. At the same time the course
offered participants the opportunity to explore more effective measures and strategies forpreventing drug abuse and treating drug abusers to promote their reintegration into society.
I would like to offer my sincere congratulations to all the participants upon theirsuccessful completion of the course, made possible by their strenuous efforts. My heartfelt
gratitude goes to the visiting experts and ad hoc lecturers who contributed a great deal to thecourse’s success. Furthermore, I appreciate the indispensable assistance and cooperation
extended to UNAFEI by various agencies and institutions, which helped diversify the programme.

2
A warm tribute must be paid to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for its
immeasurable support throughout the course. At the same time, I must express great appreciation
to the Asia Crime Prevention Foundation (ACPF) and its branch organizations for theirsubstantial contributions. Lastly, I owe my gratitude to all the individuals whose unselfish efforts
behind the scenes contributed significantly to the successful realization of this course.
Upon returning to their home countries, I genuinely believe that, like their predecessors,
the strong determination and dedication of the participants will enable them to work towards the
improvement of their respective nation’s criminal justice systems, and to the benefit of theinternational society as a whole.
Finally, I would like to reiterate my best regards to the participants of the 124th
International Training Course. I hope that the experience they gained during the Course proves
valuable in their daily work, and that the bonds fostered among the participants, visiting experts
and UNAFEI staff will continue to grow for years to come.

THE 124TH INTERNATIONAL TRAINING COURSE“THE EFFECTIVE PREVENTION AND ENHANCEMENT OF TREATMENT FOR
DRUG ABUSERS IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROCESS”
Course Rationale

Drug abuse is a global problem in our societies. Many serious problems derive from sucha global phenomenon. First of all, illicit drugs make significant profits for internationalorganized criminal groups through such activities as illegal cultivation, synthesization, andtrafficking. They threaten the peaceful order and economic/political stability of our societies
with increases in crimes, corruption, damages to various social resources, etc. Also, in somecountries, drug abusers are one of the major factors contributing to overcrowding in prisonsand other correctional facilities, which pressurize the management and smooth operation ofrehabilitative programmes.
Moreover, drug abuse and drug addiction increases thesusceptibility to HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and other infectious diseases, thereby damaging thehealth and welfare of a wide range of people from adolescents to adults and impairs sounddevelopment among individuals, families, and communities. Finally, numerous pieces of
empirical research demonstrate that drug abuse is one of the significant predictors for reoffending. From a practical point of view, it is often the case that drug abusers commit various
crimes in order to obtain money for drugs or because they are under the influence of drugs.
Therefore, drug abuse problems have a huge impact on all the fields of the criminal justiceadministration from crime prevention to treatment of drug offenders.
In view of the seriousness of drug-related problems, each country has taken specificmeasures in combating drug abuse problems. In addition, various international bodies andorganizations such as the G8 summit ad-hoc meeting of drug experts and the United Nations
have developed various countermeasures against drug abuse problems. At present, there are
the following three multilateral treaties adopted by the UN: Single Convention on Narcotic
Drugs (1961), Convention on Psychotropic Substances (1971), and the United Nations
Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (1988).
Through such international instruments, more effective measures such as enhanced control ofillicit drugs including precursor chemicals, and international cooperation in drug control, havebeen launched. In response to such movements, each jurisdiction has made every effort tosystematically implement suppressive measures for drug trafficking and drug supply reduction
policies by rearranging relevant domestic laws and practices.

4

Meanwhile, in order to effectively cope with drug abuse problems, drug demand
reduction policies should be incorporated in comprehensive and well-balanced strategies
against drug abuse, in addition to control and reduction on the supply side. In this connection,
the General Assembly of the UN at the 20th special session in 1998 recognized that drug
demand reduction programmes should be one of the key elements of a comprehensive strategy
combating drug abuse and trafficking, and adopted ‘the Declaration on the Guiding Principles
of Drug Demand Reduction.’ More specifically, paras.13-14 put emphasis on focusing on thespecial needs of clients in prevention and treatment, and paras.15 and 17 encourage
scientifically reliable information and evaluation:
13. Demand reduction programmes should be designed to address the needs of the population in
general, as well as those of specific population groups, paying special attention to youth.
Programmes should be effective, relevant and accessible to those groups most at risk, taking into
account differences in gender, culture and education.
14. In order to promote the social reintegration of drug-abusing offenders, where appropriate andconsistent with the national laws and policies of Member States, Governments should consider
providing, either as an alternative to conviction or punishment or in addition to punishment, that
abusers of drugs should undergo treatment, education, aftercare, rehabilitation and social
reintegration. Member States should develop within the criminal justice system, where appropriate,
capacities for assisting drug abusers with education, treatment and rehabilitation services. In thisoverall context, close cooperation between criminal justice, health and social systems is anecessity and should be encouraged.
15. Information utilized in educational and prevention programmes should be clear, scientificallyaccurate and reliable, culturally valid, timely and, where possible, tested with a target
population….
17. Demand reduction strategies and specific activities should be thoroughly evaluated to assess
and improve their effectiveness. The evaluations should also be appropriate to the specific culture
and programme involved. The results of these evaluations should be shared with all thoseinterested.

Thus, the early detection and prevention of drug abuse, and the appropriate delivery oftreatment and rehabilitative services addressed to individual risks and needs of drug abusers
are critical issues for drug demand reduction strategies, which should also be scientificallyreliable, valid, and effective. These are the main reasons to set up this training programme that
explores ‘Effective Prevention and Enhancement of Treatment for Drug Abusers in the
Criminal Justice Process.’ More specific explanations are as follows:5Firstly, the preventive strategies for drug abuse may be analyzed at multiple levels: i.e.,‘primary prevention’ which is directed at the general public for enhancing awareness;‘secondary prevention’ which is directed at specific high-risk groups who have increased
susceptibility for drug abuse; and ‘tertiary prevention’ which is directed at drug abusers who
could relapse into subsequent drug use. Moreover, effective preventive strategies would
require early detection and intervention for high-risk individuals as one of the core elements. In
this context, various practices have been accumulated by the police and other criminal justiceagencies.
On the other hand, with regard to the enhancement of treatment for drug abusers, diversified
intervention programmes have been utilized although specific measures taken by eachjurisdiction are characterized by differences in relevant determinants such as laws related todrug offences, types of dominant drugs used in each country, etc. For instance, programmes
for drug abusers include detoxification, prescription of substitute drugs, therapeutic community(TC) model approaches, psycho-social intervention by multi-disciplinary teams, group
counseling, boot camp treatment, relapse prevention programmes, cognitive-behavioral skill
training and a variety of support for smooth reintegration into society. Moreover, if we
examine responses at each stage of the criminal justice system, some countries have developed
various diversion programs at the police, prosecution, and court levels, in order to intensify
alternatives to imprisonment and/or to conduct early intervention. Furthermore, in institutionalsettings, some countries utilize special institutions or units for drug abusers, and/or provide
intensive treatment programmes based upon individual risks and needs of drug abusers. Theseexperiences and practices in each country might be re-examined in terms of such viewpoints asapplicability, sustainability, cost effectiveness, results of evaluative studies and EvidenceBased Practices (EBP). Knowledge and experience in these practices can be accumulated as a
useful knowledge base, which may be reflected in further improving current practices andstrategies of treatment of drug abusers in each country.
On the basis of the explanations indicated above, the purpose of this International Training
Course is to offer participants opportunities to share information on the current situation of
drug abuse; punishments; prevention and treatment for drug abusers; and challenges faced byeach country. At the same time, this course offers opportunities to explore more effective
measures and strategies for preventing drug abuse and treating drug abusers to promote theirreintegration into society.
In summary, among the major topics to be discussed are the following items:(1) To examine and analyze the current situation of drug abuse; the legal framework of
prevention, punishment, and treatment for drug abusers; and practices and programmes
for prevention and treatment.
(2) To extract current problems and challenges faced by each jurisdiction and their practices
concerning prevention of drug abuse, punishment and treatment for drug abusers.
To explore effective measures and strategies for further improving prevention and treatmentof drug abusers at each stage of the criminal justice system based upon promising practices andrelevant empirical studies in each country.

Course Summary
Lectures
In total, 9 lectures were presented by visiting experts, 6 by ad hoc lecturers and 4 by theprofessors of UNAFEI. Four distinguished criminal justice practitioners and scholars from abroad
served as UNAFEI visiting experts. They lectured on issues relating to the main theme, andcontributed significantly to the Course by encouraging discussions after their own lectures,
participating in the discussions of other programmes, and conversing with the participants on
informal occasions. Additionally, distinguished senior officials of the Government of Japan
delivered ad hoc lectures. The lecturers and lecture topics are listed on pages 7, 8 and 9.
Individual Presentations
During the first three weeks, each Japanese and overseas participant delivered a 45minute individual presentation, which introduced the actual situation, problems and future
prospects of his/her country. These papers were compiled into a book entitled “ Country Reports
for the International Training Course on Crime Prevention” and distributed to all the participants.
The titles of these individual presentation papers are listed on pages 10 and 11.
Group Workshop Sessions
Group Workshop Sessions further examined the subtopics of the main theme. In order to
conduct each session effectively, the UNAFEI faculty selected individuals to serve as ‘groupmembers’ for the sub-topics, based on their response to a questionnaire previously distributed.
Selected participants served as chairpersons, co-chairpersons, rapporteurs or co-rapporteurs, andfaculty members served as advisers. Each group’s primary responsibility was to explore anddevelop their designated topics in the Group Workshop Sessions. The participants and UNAFEI
faculty seriously studied the topics and exchanged their views based on information obtained
through personal experience, the Individual Presentations, lectures and so forth. After the Group
Workshop Sessions, reports were drafted based on these discussions. These reports were
subsequently presented in the Plenary Meetings and Report-Back session, where they wereendorsed as the reports of the Course. Very brief summaries of the Group Workshop reports areprovided on pages 12, 13 and 14.
Visits and Special Events
Visits to various agencies and institutions in Japan helped the participants obtain a morepractical understanding of the Japanese criminal justice system. In addition to the Course's
academic agenda, many activities were arranged to provide a greater understanding of Japanesesociety and culture, with the assistance of various organizations and individuals, including the
Asia Crime Prevention Foundation (ACPF). For more detailed descriptions, please refer to pages
15 to 19.

Report SummaryGroup 1 started their discussions by noting that worldwide drug abuse was on the increase.
They noted that several reasons might be adduced for this including the fact that the majority ofcountries’ drug abusers are convicted without much consideration for their treatment. It was also
noted that research indicated that pre-sentencing treatment was very successful in reducing
recidivism and rehabilitating the abuser.

13
The group looked at the current available programs for prevention and the problems oftreatment at the pre-sentencing stage. They also discussed whether drug abusers should betreated as patients or ordinary offenders. The group agreed that there was no clear cut answer tothis question and often depended on the circumstances existing in the particular country inquestion. It was however noted that punishment did not appear to have a positive effect onoffenders.
They also discussed the forms of treatment programs that might be introduced andwhether such programs should be voluntary or compulsory.
The group went on to discuss prevention of drug abuse and the necessity of education but
the failure of current education programmes to have an impact on high-risk groups.
Group 1 noted in their conclusion that it was difficult to recommend a particular
programme or means to deal with this issue that would be suitable for all the countries involved
due to the very different philosophies of opinion regarding the criminality of drug abusers.
Nevertheless the group agreed that pre-sentencing treatment was necessary and that among otherthings: the innocence of the drug abuser should be presumed; whether treatment should bevoluntary depended on whether the country criminalized drug use; outside agencies should be
relied on to provide such treatment and successful completion of treatment should at least be
regarded as a mitigating factor. Turning to drug education, the group concluded that suchprogrammes were absolutely necessary and should encompass schools, places of entertainment
and advertising.

This group started their discussions by examining the situation regarding the prevention
and treatment for the drugs most commonly abused. It then discussed the major problems andcountermeasures associated with prevention and treatment and focused on through care. The
group then made an in-depth analysis of the current rehabilitative services available for drug
abusers. The group made a number of recommendations highlighting the need for through care,and suggested that major agencies and organizations should formulate Multi Disciplinary Teams
to plan and manage the entire Through Care process. They recommended that to maintain andimprove the quality of the process, evidence-based practice should be the basic method. A
continuous circle of research, monitoring, assessment and planning during the Through Care
process was paramount. They also recommended, among other things, early family participationin treatment and a relapse prevention programme. Group 2 concluded that Through Care wasvital if we were to effectively reduce the crime rate and therefore it needed to be developed andenhanced and services that provide such care should share their information and results so thattreatment can be improved.

INFORMATION ABOUT FORTHCOMING PROGRAMMESThe 125th International Training Course1.

The 125th International Training Course entitled “Effective Countermeasures against
Illicit Drug Trafficking and Money Laundering”.
Rationale
It goes without saying that illicit drug trafficking facilitates drug abuse which is one of themost serious global social problems, and also brings organized criminal groups substantial profits,
which fund such groups' activities and stimulates their growth. Much of these profits infiltrates
the legitimate business sphere and may impair the integrity and stability of legitimate economic
and financial systems as a whole. It has also been pointed out that some proceeds of drugtrafficking may even go into the pockets of terrorist groups. Illicit drug trafficking and theproceeds derived from it, therefore, pose an immeasurable threat to the security of thegovernment and the rule of law, as well as economic and political stability and the sounddevelopment of all countries, including Asia and the Pacific region.
It is obvious that law enforcement agencies should make every effort to prevent illicit
drug trafficking related offences and investigate these offences thoroughly by utilizing various
investigative methods. Controlled delivery and undercover operations, for example, have beenutilized as effective investigative measures to date. On the other hand, when we pay attention to
the fact that the purpose of illicit drug trafficking is to pursue financial gain, the most effective
strategy is to deprive the perpetrators of their illicit proceeds and any property derived from them;and to control and criminalize the act of disguising and concealing the origin of this “dirty
money” i.e. the act of “money laundering”. This strategy will deprive criminals of their incentive
to commit further crime and exhaust the funds for reinvesting in further criminal activities, which
will inevitably weaken the functionality of these organized criminal groups or even destroy them.
Such strategy has given us a new approach to effectively combat illicit drug trafficking.

33

However, “dirty money” is actually increasingly laundered on an international scaleowing to the development of technology and the increasing globalization of the economy andsociety. We are all aware that money laundering itself poses a growing threat to our society as
well as to the international economic and financial system. According to some research by theUnited Nations and others, estimates of the amount of money laundered globally in one year haveranged between $500 billion and $1 trillion, and the majority of this amount is the proceeds of
drug trafficking. Criminals can have a deleterious effect on legitimate businesses parasiticallyand distort fair competition by their huge illicit proceeds.

Furthermore, money laundering

techniques have made rapid progress and become more sophisticated, for example, by the skillfuluse of shell corporations, off-shore financial centers (the safe haven of illicit funds), undergroundbanking and the involvement of professionals such as lawyers and accountants. Organizedcriminal groups have strengthened their global networks among them rapidly.
In recognition of the gravity of this issue, various international initiatives have been taken
to tackle illicit drug trafficking and money laundering. As regards the United Nations, the UN
Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances was adopted in
1988, which requires State Parties to criminalize money laundering and take necessary measures
to trace, freeze and forfeit the proceeds in relation to drug offences. The United Nations also
adopted the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime in 2000, which provides for
a comprehensive legal tool to effectively tackle transnational organized crime, and it requires
State Parties to extend the scope of predicate offences of money laundering beyond drugtrafficking to all serious crimes. The UN Office on Drugs and Crime has actively contributed to
the fight against money laundering in various fields including implementation of the Global
Programme against Money Laundering.
The G-7 Summit established the Financial Action Task Force on money laundering(FATF) in 1989, and most importantly, FATF developed the international standards “ The Forty
Recommendations” which set out a comprehensive blueprint for countries to implement effective
anti-money laundering programmes. FATF examines the 29 member countries and territories’
progress in implementing “The Forty Recommendations” through self-assessment and a mutual
evaluation procedure, and also publishes a list of Non-Cooperative Countries and Territories toencourage those countries to improve their programmes. In addition, regional initiatives havebeen actively taken, for example the Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG) has
addressed this issue to facilitate the implementation of internationally accepted money-laundering
standards in this region since 1997.

34
In reality, nonetheless, we have encountered difficulties in detecting illicit drug trafficking
and money laundering due to the clandestine nature and the complexity of these offences,including identifying, tracing and freezing the proceeds of crime. In this respect, we should
introduce, by domestic legislation, innovative legal weapons provided in the above-mentioned
UN Conventions and other international standards, and implement these more effectively by, forexample, improving investigative techniques, in order to combat such crime.
Furthermore, it is widely acknowledged that due to the inherent global nature of illicit
drug trafficking and money laundering, harmonization of countermeasures and international
cooperation is indispensable, especially so as to deny creating safe havens to criminals and theirillicit proceeds. If a country does not join our concerted battle, the illicit money will flow intothat country and will be laundered. International cooperation needs to be stressed; informationexchange mechanisms, and mutual legal assistance and extradition needs to be carried out in amore effective and expeditious manner. Without strengthening international cooperation, we cannever win the “war on drugs”.
Taking this into consideration, UNAFEI, as a regional institute (affiliated with the United
Nations) for the prevention of crime and the treatment of offenders, decided to undertake a series
of international training courses and seminars under the general subject of “countermeasuresagainst transnational organized crime”. This course is part of UNAFEI’s continuing commitment
to this internationally important theme.
