Control of precursors

Control of precursors

A workshop on precursor analysis was held as part of the regional project on precursor control in Central Asia.

Recommends that the General Assembly consider the budget implications of the present resolution for the International Narcotics Control Board, in particular the work of its secretariat concerning precursor control

A number of representatives reported on precursor control efforts in their countries, indicating that the need to strengthen national legislation on precursor control had been identified and was being addressed.

With respect to control of precursors, the Assembly encouraged States to establish or strengthen mechanisms and procedures to ensure strict control of chemical precursors used in such illicit manufacture and to support international operations aimed at preventing the diversion of chemical precursors.

In conclusion, important progress continued to be made in the control of precursors.

Strengthening systems of control over chemical precursors and preventing their diversion and trafficking

Training in precursor control, countering money laundering and drug abuse prevention

C. Legal, law enforcement and other measures to prevent the diversion of precursors

The European Phare New Synthetic Drugs and Precursors Control Project and the Phare twinning projects, as well as precursor projects of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), a specific EU technical assistance project for the Andean Community and Project Prism were also cited in this regard.

However, greater international cooperation was needed to control the precursor chemicals.

Companies producing, using, importing or exporting chemical precursors furthermore have to submit a declaration about their production, use, import and export, acquisition, disposal of said precursors to ISP.

The United States supported the introduction of more thorough controls over the flow of precursor chemicals, and wished to note the effectiveness of the International Narcotics Control Board's Databank on Precursor Chemical Control.

However, those States which had not yet implemented precursor control legislation should be revising or enacting domestic laws and regulations in the field of precursor control in accordance with their obligations under the 1988 Convention.

These heme like substances theoretically inhibit ALA synthase and hence the accumulation of toxic precursors.

Serious concern was expressed at the increased extent of attempted diversion of and trafficking in precursors.

Serious concern was expressed at the increased extent of attempted diversion of and trafficking in precursors.

Concerned that the diversion and smuggling of precursors, material and equipment essential to the illicit manufacture of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances constitute a problem that deserves the full attention of all States and the United Nations,

Governments need to provide sufficient material and human resources to ensure the effective functioning of national precursor control systems and increase their efforts to ensure that officials engaged in the control of precursors receive the training required to facilitate the operation of those systems.

Over one third of respondents had introduced penal sanctions in their legislation as a means of preventing the diversion of precursors.

d. Annual update of training materials on the control of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors

o. Maintenance and development of two comprehensive databases on licit activities related to narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and precursors

The Government of Indonesia had established a precursor control task force to monitor and control distribution and possible diversions of precursors.

Syria s No Solution Solution

Concerned also by the increase in the diversion of chemical precursors used in the illicit manufacture of drugs,

Reference was also made to Operation Six Borders in Latin America, which had facilitated international cooperation on precursor control.

The system was currently being used by the competent authorities of a number of countries for issuance of precursor licences and import and export licences.

In particular, States should continue to introduce sanctions in their legislation to prevent, detect and punish the diversion of precursors.

Is that particular solution, plus some homogeneous solution, a solution to Ax is equal to b?

Consequently, in 1996 Iraq declared the production of 3.9 metric tons of VX, the production of 60 metric tons of key VX precursors and the acquisition of some 650 metric tons of other precursors for the production of VX.

In that regard, the Commission may wish to invite Governments to make available adequate human and financial resources to ensure the effective functioning of national precursor control systems and increase their efforts to ensure that officials engaged in the control of precursors receive the training required to facilitate the operation of those systems.

A homogeneous solution.

There's no solution.

We can only solve this through a political solution.

Solve

Although it did not itself produce drug precursors, it had established a precursor control unit to monitor movement of precursor chemicals, and cooperated with international partners to exchange information and conduct joint investigations and operations, including those coordinated by the International Narcotics Control Board.

Reference was also made to Operation Six Borders in Latin America, which had facilitated international cooperation on precursor control.

Prevention of diversion of precursors, materials and equipment used in the illicit production or manufacture of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances

More recently, the Internet has also enabled traffickers to purchase the chemicals needed for the manufacture of illicit drugs via the websites of chemical suppliers, thus making detection of suspicious shipments even more difficult for the competent authorities.

Governments, in cooperation with INCB, should continue to adopt measures to counter the use of the Internet for illicit trade in precursors.

Regarding the provision of technical assistance on precursor control, more Governments reported that they had received technical assistance in that area, which was also reflected in the number of Governments indicating that they had provided technical assistance in precursor control to other States.
