EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The purpose of the 10th Policy Consultative Group Meeting (PCGM) was for the partnership to endorse,

on the one hand, the recommendations and conclusions of the Expert Working Groups held in the course

of the past year, and on the other hand, the project document of Phase IV of the Paris Pact project, due

to be launched in June 2013.

The first item of the meeting was dedicated to a debriefing and review of the Expert Working Group

meetings held in the last quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013, all four of which were aligned to

the four pillars of the Vienna Declaration and encompassed the first expert forum in the framework of

the Paris Pact entirely focused on drug demand reduction, and a three-day event fully focused on law

enforcement related thematics:

� Expert Working Group on Afghan Opiate Abuse Prevention (Vienna, 4-5 October 2012)

� Expert Working Group on Precursors (EUROPOL/The Hague, 11 February 2013)

� Expert Working Group on Cross-border Cooperation & Legal Frameworks (EUROPOL/The Hague,

12 February 2013)

� Expert Working Group on Illicit Financial Flows (EUROPOL/The Hague, 13 February 2013)

The second item of the meeting was reserved for interventions by Paris Pact partners including UNODC

to update on activities in line with the Paris Pact’s mandate. The meeting was informed about: the latest

drug trafficking trends in West and Central Asia as well as the Balkans; the status of implementation of

the UNODC Regional Programmes for Afghanistan and neighbouring countries and for South Eastern

Europe; the joint Interpol / CARICC Initiative; achievements of the NATO-Russia Council; and an

interactive map on the elimination of drug production in Afghanistan by the Russian Federation.

The third item of the meeting centred on the future of the Paris Pact Initiative with the presentation and,

subsequently, endorsement of the project document of Phase IV of the Paris Pact project (June 2013 –

May 2016). Partners generously announced initial financial contributions totalling 1 Million USD to

enable the timely launch of Phase IV.

OPENING SESSION

The meeting was opened by Mr. Sandeep Chawla, Director, Division for Policy Analysis and Public Affairs

and Deputy Executive Director of UNODC, who reminded partners of the significance of the 10th Policy

Consultative Group Meeting marking the 10th anniversary of the partnership, and 10 years of joint

efforts in the fight against illicit drugs. Mr. Chawla emphasised the clear need for a balanced approach to

drug problem, to both supply and demand reduction, which is evidenced by the adoption of the Vienna

Declaration as roadmap for the partnership.

In the fight against the dangers of drugs, four levels need to be tackled and are equally important and

neutral: firstly, appropriate laws need to be established; secondly, these laws have to be put in place for

protection of the society; thirdly, measures need to be taken for the prevention of use; and finally,

treatment of disease of addiction has to be available.

While often the focus on process of how to meet these aims is too strong, the process is only useful as a

guidance, to be aware of the goal: the aspiration of a drug free world.

Mr. Chawla pointed to the fact that illicit drugs account for the largest share of income for transnational

organized crime, equivalent to around 0.5 per cent of global GDP. While the international community is

quite successful in containing the spread of the drug supply, the changing routes of drug traffickers and

their diversification continues to pose a serious challenge.

In the light of the transition in Afghanistan in 2014, the Paris Pact Initiative plays a crucial role in the fight

against drugs and a more effective response to these challenges is sought in Phase IV.

Ms. Kayoko Gotoh, Chief, Integrated Programme and Oversight Branch, Division for Operations, UNODC,

thanked Mr. Chawla for his passionate opening, which she regarded as an appropriate kick start for this

meeting, as the emphasis on a balanced approach is mirrored in the Vienna Declaration.

Ms. Gotoh introduced two documents which had been shared with participants: the compilation of

statements by Paris Pact partners at the Third Ministerial Conference in Vienna which coincides with

the one year anniversary of the conference on the eve of the start of Phase IV of the Paris Pact Initiative;

and the 2012 Drug Situation Report which was undertaken under the auspices of the Paris Pact project

in collaboration with the Afghan Opiate Trade Project and represents the data collection and analysis

efforts of the 10 Paris Pact National Strategic Analysts in conjunction with Afghan Opiate Trade Project

field staff.1

The introduction was followed by an overview of the meeting agenda by Ms. Gotoh and the adoption of

the agenda.

Item I DEBRIEFING ON EXPERT WORKING GROUPS AND REVIEW OF EXPERT

RECOMMENDATIONS

The session was chaired by Dr. Gilberto Gerra, Chief of the Drug Prevention and Health Branch, UNODC.

Dr. Gerra showed appreciation for the fact that the drug demand reduction has gained primary interest

in the Paris Pact Initiative through the Vienna Declaration. Referring to the comprehensive approach as

outlined by Mr. Chawla in his opening speech, Dr. Gerra drew attention to the need to redesign the

concept of the family in Paris Pact priority countries which face challenges such as children separated

from their parents either due to work migration or a post-conflict environment. Such adverse

circumstances increase the potential for vulnerability and can turn a region into a transit, producing and

consuming society where prevention techniques developed for Western Europe cannot be applied.

While adequate resources for drug prevention and treatment are scarce in times of crisis, Dr. Gerra

encouraged partners not to wait with the urgent response that is needed now for children, adolescents

and drug users, until resources are available. Minimal cost packages against the spread of HIV, for

prevention and treatment have already been developed relying on a volunteers and scientifically-proven

methods. Thus, in a ‘Cascade Process’ limited resources can go a long way.

Regarding the age at which children begin consuming drugs, Dr. Gerra explained that there is

documented evidence of three types of opiate abuse within Afghanistan: exposure to smoking; exposure

in pre-school and primary school age as a means to pacify children; and Injecting Drug Users sharing

drugs with their children directly. Dr. Gerra noted that such evidence demonstrates that drugs can affect

a large segment of the youth population reinforcing the importance of building institutions and

strengthening their capacity to deliver treatment to minors.

France welcomed the strengthened focus of the Paris Pact Initiative on drug demand reduction and

stressed the importance of a balanced approach. Furthermore, France enquired about the level of

involvement of target populations and the impact thus far of the ‘Cascade Process’ and other

interventions in priority countries.

The Islamic Republic of Iran commented on the reference to child overdoses in the country. The I.R. of

Iran confirmed minors’ exposure to opium through inhalation and briefly highlighted responses and

remedies applied to the situation.

The Islamic Republic of Pakistan questioned if any concrete UN-based studies on opiates consumption

amongst the six to eight year olds in Pakistan had been conducted as the latest figures resulting from a

recent UNODC study indicate that the most adversely affected segment of the population is the 16-24

age range, especially women.

Dr. Gerra, UNODC, concluded that ultimately global efforts need to be based on evidence rather than

anecdotal information while not all vulnerable groups can be reached for important surveys and studies.

Drug Demand Reduction: Expert Working Group on Afghan Opiate Abuse Prevention (Vienna, 4-5 October 2012)

• International Standards on Drug Use Prevention, presentation by Ms. Giovanna Campello,

Programme Officer, Prevention, Treatment and Rehabilitation Section, UNODC.

In her presentation, Ms. Campello recalled the external experts’ contributions to the discussions at

the Expert Working Group on Afghan Opiate Abuse Prevention and outlined the resulting

recommendations. When suggesting possible topics for future Expert Working Groups in the field of

drug demand reduction, Ms. Campello introduced areas of upcoming UNODC work with regards to

treatment, care and rehabilitation. UNODC plans to strengthen its collaboration with policy makers

on improving national drug prevention systems; to expand family-based prevention programmes to

additional countries and to increase sustainability of ongoing programmes; to expand work with

children exposed to drugs at a very young age and with refugees and returnees; and to improve the

delivery of drug dependence treatment services that are ethical and based on scientific evidence.

As no objections were raised, all Expert Working Group recommendations were endorsed.2

This session was co-chaired by Mr. Les Fiander, Focal Point Manager (illicit heroin production and

trafficking operations), Europol; Mr. Tofik Murshudlu, Chief of the Implementation Support Section,

Organized Crime and Illicit Trafficking Branch, UNODC; and Mr. Imrich Betko, Drug Control Officer,

Precursors Control Section, Secretariat of the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB).

Mr. Tofik Murshudlu, UNODC, introduced the topic of Day I of the Tri-fold Expert Working Group held at

the premises of Europol in The Hague on 11-13 February 2013. Mr. Les Fiander, Europol, thanked

partners for giving Europol the opportunity to host a Paris Pact expert meeting, and assured delegates

that Europol would continue its active role within the partnership. Reiterating the discussions of the

precursors meeting, he indicated that trafficking groups have firmly embedded logistics systems in place,

which take a lot of resources and intelligence exchange to break. A number of significant seizures within

the EU were possible only due to close collaboration with the industry on the one hand and Europol on

the other, while crime groups face extremely high rewards and low risk in the illicit market of Acetic

Anhydride (AA). Summarizing the key challenges as highlighted by the expert group, Mr. Fiander pointed

to one common denominator: the lack of operational information. Another common theme of the

experts’ conclusions of Day I was the lack of joint activity.

Mr. Murshudlu asked participants to consider which of those conclusions should be followed up by the

next Expert Working Group on Precursors.

The Russian Federation showed an interest to discuss the financial implications of trafficking in

precursors and the connections between financial investigations on the regional and national level to

answer the question of where the traffickers’ money goes.

Annex I.

(EUROPOL/The Hague, 11 February 2013)

Turkey confirmed that the discussions of the Expert Working Group had been very fruitful and requested

for more information regarding a documented increase in the diversion of AA while less can be detected

in Turkey.

Mr. Imrich Betko, INCB, clarified that the quoted information was related mostly to investigations in

2008, while at present Asian countries are gaining prominence and Iraq is still on the radar.

India reiterated that the recommendations of the previous Expert Working Group on Precursors, which

was held in New Delhi in 2011, continue to be relevant. One issue highlighted at that meeting were the

pre-export notifications, which India considered very important and which all countries concerned with

the trade of precursors needed to make use of for any suspicious shipping to be stopped. India therefore

wished that the significance of the INCB PEN-Online system was reflected in the conclusions of the The

Hague meeting.

In full agreement, Mr. Murshudlu reconfirmed to partners that the New Delhi recommendations

remained valid and that all countries were required to use the PEN-Online tool as much as possible.

China requested a clarification on the Operation Cohesion model that had previously been used to

combat precursor trafficking.

Mr. Betko explained that Operation Cohesion is an international initiative in which more than 80

countries participate to monitor the chemical trade. The focus of the operation has been on two

principle chemicals of which one is Acetic Anhydride. Based on recent substance trafficking trends,

targeted activities take place.

As there were no further questions raised, Mr. Murshudlu considered the Expert Working Group

conclusions accepted.

To garner support within the partnership for strengthened regional information sharing, Mr. Fiander

asked for partners’ opinion on whether this topic could be an acceptable theme for the next Expert

Working Group on Precursors.

Norway underlined the importance of priority one listed in the conclusions: the cooperation with the

chemical industry, which Norway considered crucial for identifying leakages and determining how the

industry could help tighten up loopholes.

In response to the question of which process to follow in the cooperation with the industry, Mr. Betko

reminded partners that the INCB had prepared guidelines for cooperation already three years ago.

The United States of America expressed support for the expert meeting theme of intelligence sharing on

a regional and also on a broader international level.

Mr. Murshudlu agreed that intelligence sharing was a cross-cutting issue for all three days of the Tri-fold

law enforcement themed Expert Working Group and added that cooperation must go hand in hand at

the international, regional and country level between organizations in order to multiply strengths and

experience and to move away from law enforcement agencies working in isolation.

Mr. Fiander also welcomed the U.S. comments, as did the European Union who underlined that the EU

already developed strategies in this field, which would be relevant to a respective future expert meeting.

Support to these suggestions was also expressed by Italy.

This session was co-chaired by Mr. Les Fiander, Focal Point Manager (illicit heroin production and

trafficking operations), Europol, and Mr. Tofik Murshudlu, Chief of the Implementation Support Section,

Organized Crime and Illicit Trafficking Branch, UNODC.

Introducing the conclusions of Day 2 of the Tri-fold Expert Working Group in The Hague, Mr. Murshudlu

referred to current trafficking trends which indicate an increased use of maritime routes, and point

towards a renewed importance of the role of the Balkan route and global concerns over the role of Africa

in the movement of opiates originating in Afghanistan.

Mr. Murshudlu stressed the need to continue the work of cataloguing and systematizing legal

instruments at the national, regional and international levels in support of law enforcement and legal

cooperation which was the sixth priority conclusions raised during the The Hague meeting on cross-

border cooperation and legal framework. He added that the Paris Pact Coordination Unit has already

started this massive undertaking with a report produced for the 2011 EWG in Islamabad, I.R. Pakistan

and this activity should be continued under the PPI.

Referring to the trafficking hotspots Zanzibar and Bemba, off the coast of East Africa, Austria reminded

delegates that an eye needs to be kept on the African route and the role of piracy be further explored.

Trends indicate that maritime piracy is on the decline which may generate a new danger of criminal

groups branching out to find new jobs by shifting away from piracy to drug trafficking.

Kazakhstan strongly supported the first priority from the The Hague meeting that continued support

should be focused on Afghanistan and other countries based on the Paris Pact ‘priority country’

approach. Kazakhstan added that an alternative livelihood component should be linked to this. From

Kazakhstan’s side, support has been provided through education programmes for Afghanistan. The

delegation added that interventions need to be a regional effort and reiterated Kazakhstan’s

commitment to Afghanistan, the PPI and the Regional Programme for Afghanistan and Neighbouring

Countries with CARICC playing a vital role.

Mr. Murshudlu confirmed that while based in Almaty he was an eye witness to Kazakhstan’s education

programmes for Afghan youths and thanked the delegation for this initiative.

The Islamic Republic of Iran suggested an amendment to conclusion no. 2 on coordination at the

national level to incorporate a reference to the “accordance with the international and national laws”. In

addition, the I.R. of Iran enquired about the mandate of NATO in drug trafficking, in particular in light of

the post-2014 time frame. The I.R. of Iran referred to reports which saw an increasing poppy cultivation

in Afghanistan since 2001, which was the start of the NATO presence in the country. Although there was

no evidence for any relationship between the two matters, the I.R. of Iran recommended not to mention

NATO in the conclusions to avoid highlighting political issues and to remain neutral. This was agreeable

to partners.

China agreed with the point made by the I.R. of Iran and underlined that the conclusions which will be

guiding further work on cooperation between partners should be free of any possible political

implications.

Mr. Murshudlu, supported by Mr. Fiander, Europol, reminded the audience that the EWG discussions

had been very pragmatic without hidden political agendas. It is without doubt that the date 2014 will

Frameworks (EUROPOL/The Hague, 12 February 2013)

affect situation in Afghanistan but it is unknown how. With a view to the Middle East, it is obvious that

traffickers quickly took advantage of the upheavals in the societies.

Interpol, having been present in The Hague, fully endorsed the conclusions. From an operational point of

view, most of the countries that are Paris Pact partners are also members to Interpol, the largest

international police organization. The “Interpol Border Management Task Force” with its database that

registers thousands of queries every year, is a complete package which many countries apply at their

border crossing points. Interpol encourages more countries to adopt this tool to make it more difficult

for criminals to move around. In this context, Interpol also trongly supports information networks and

pointed to the existing excellent cooperation with the WCO and INCB. Interpol is also active in Africa

with a strong initiative whereby linkages with the goals of the Paris Pact could be explored.

Mr. Murshudlu replied that while all partners agreed that sharing information is necessary, it still did not

happen as frequently as required. Regional entities often work in isolation while drug trafficking affects

all partners. While information may be regarded as sensitive, and its sharing considered to be costly, this

exchange needs to be stimulated to achieve practical outcomes.

Regarding the exchanging of information, Interpol referred to the rule that the country supplying the

information remains its owner and can guide its use. Therefore, information which remains unused will

not be of help to anyone.

Belgium agreed with the importance of sharing information from an operational point of view,

considering how drugs mainly reach Belgium being trafficked in container shipments.

In the context of container shipments, Mr. Murshudlu referred to the limitations of the Container

Control Programe (CCP) due to a lack of manpower and its level of funding. The project is expected to be

expanded to also cover sea ports. Making a point of aid effectiveness, Mr. Murshudlu stressed that the

CCP’s success lies in its uniformly standardised approach.

OSCE also expressed support for all conclusions of the The Hague EWG and would like to see them

turned into operation soon. To illustrate this point, OSCE has already prepared a project on bilateral

meetings with Afghanistan and its neighbouring countries with the aim to strengthen cooperation.

Turkey drew attention to the fact that back-tracking operations can support cooperation giving an

example of the successful back-tracking of one seizure which led to further seizures.

The Islamic Republic of Pakistan highlighted one aspect that the conclusions were silent about:

controlled deliveries, while having been a topic in The Hague as Mr. Murshudlu confirmed.

Another aspect that was not mentioned in the conclusions as Italy pointed out were the pre-export

notifications.

The INCB justified this fact by referring to the presence of pre-export notification in the conclusions of

the EWG on Precursors.

All conclusions were adopted and Mr. Murshudlu closed the discussion calling on partners to consider

hosting the next EWG on Cross-Border Cooperation,.

This session was co-chaired by Mr. Les Fiander, Focal Point Manager (illicit heroin production and

trafficking operations), Europol; Mr. Tofik Murshudlu, Chief of the Implementation Support Section,

Organized Crime and Illicit Trafficking Branch, UNODC; and Ms. Jennifer Bramlette, Programme

Manager, Global Programme Against Money Laundering, Proceeds of Crime and the Financing of

Terrorism (GPML), Organized Crime and Illicit Trafficking Branch, UNODC.

• Financial Flows linked to the illicit production and trafficking of Afghan opiates, presentation by

Ms. Jennifer Bramlette, Programme Manager, Global Programme Against Money Laundering,

Proceeds of Crime and the Financing of Terrorism (GPML), Organized Crime and Illicit Trafficking

Branch, UNODC

In her presentation, Ms. Bramlette briefed delegates on Day 3 of the Tri-fold Expert Working Group

in The Hague which gave partners the opportunity to discuss sensitive issues in a round-table setting.

The EWG met its objectives to update participants on information exchange between Paris Pact

partners and inter-agency cooperation as well as to discuss current trends, successes and challenges

in halting illicit financial flows via cash couriers, and alternative and new payment systems, and the

illicit cross-border movement of cash and valuable commodities.

As many of the challenges of 2011 still remained in 2013, the EWG was a good opportunity for stock

taking on the implementation of expert recommendations put forth at the Expert Working Group on

Financial Flows held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, in 2011, and to remind partners of the

continued validity of these recommendations.

With reference to Mr. Chawla’s opening statement and his call for a definition of practical next steps,

Ms. Bramlette outlined the road map that is being created from the essential building blocks of the

The Hague conclusions. Future EWGs should focus on the refinement of the road map and the

development of an action plan on asset recovery, hawala, cash smuggling, trade based money

laundering and the abuse of other financial systems. The work of Paris Pact should fit in and dove-tail

related efforts of the European Union and other partners.

Informational baseline for this work need to come from the Orange Paper Tashkent Questionnaire,

prepared in connection with the Paris Pact Technical Working Group on Illicit Financial Flows held in

2009. At the The Hague meeting, experts had agreed that recirculating the Questionnaire to all

partners through the Paris Pact Coordination Unit would be valuable; this was subsequently done in

March 2013. Ms. Bramlette emphasised that without the vital information generated by the

Questionnaire, the PPI road map for financial flows cannot be created and technical assistance

cannot be adequately planned for.

The Russian Federation recaptured that illicit financial flows require several elements to be in place:

illegal trafficking includes infrastructure and logistics. While the Russian Federation has a lot of

experience with the commercial elements, the movement of money is under-researched. If the

geography of financial flows was better understood, efforts could be concentrated and resources be

used to the utmost. Partners were called upon to complete the Tashkent questionnaire to enhance the

knowledge base.

Counter Narcotics Enforcement: Expert Working Group on Illicit Financial Flows (EUROPOL/The

Hague, 13 February 2013)

10

Mr. Murshudlu confirmed that not enough information is being shared and again – as with many issues

raised during the other two days of the The Hague meeting, agencies are often working in isolation. In

this sense, the financial component should not be separated from other components with which it is

closely interlinked.

Item II REVIEW OF THE CURRENT STATUS OF OPERATIONAL PRIORITIES RELATED TO

AFGHANISTAN AND NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES

Item II was chaired by Mr. Alexandre Schmidt, Chief of the Regional Section for West & Central Asia,

Integrated Programme and Oversight Branch, Division for Operations, UNODC, who opened the item by

introducing the points on the agenda.

A) Current and emerging trends of drug trafficking

• Update on drug routes, trends and challenges in the regions covered by the Paris Pact (from

Afghanistan and neighbouring countries to South Eastern Europe), presentation by Mr. Hakan

Demirbuken, Programme Management Officer, Afghan Opiates Trade Programme, Statistics and

Surveys Section, UNODC

Mr. Demirbuken who provides technical guidance to the Paris Pact National Strategic Analysts,

introduced the March 2013 version of the Paris Pact Drug Situation Report which had been shared

with delegates. This report was prepared jointly by the Paris Pact and Afghan Opiate Trade Project. It

features fact sheets of all countries covered by the national staff of these projects, illustrated with

maps taken from the Drugs Monitoring Platform. In his presentation, Mr. Demirbuken discussed the

supply and demand of opiates by comparing data of the past decade. He focused on several issues

such as the market value and beneficiaries of the global opiate trade, the areas of opium poppy

cultivation in Afghanistan, the efforts of eradication and interdiction, main flows of Acetic Anhydride,

the misuse of licit trade agreements for trafficking, and the reasons for changing drug trafficking

routes. Recent research has shown a shift in trends of trafficking routes towards Africa and the

Middle East, which raised concerns about links between drug trafficking and terrorist groups. In view

of the international troops withdrawing their presence from Afghanistan in 2014, and to decrease

the related challenges, Mr. Demirbuken pointed out that several measures would need to be in

place: strengthened customs in West and Central Asia, increased research and analysis, increased

number of joint law enforcement operations, increased political and law enforcement awareness,

particularly in Africa, heightened level of effectiveness on countering drug related money flows, and

closer monitoring of the global opiate trade.

Opening the floor to partners, Mr. Schmidt observed that the level of offer of opiates is currently much

higher than the level of demand and that a new business mind is apparent behind the cartels of drug

traffickers.

Austria commended the presentation for the various new insights it had provided and pointed to

Kenya’s interest to intensify its fight against drug trafficking. Austria suggested to invite Kenya to join the

Paris Pact Initiative.

11

Mr. Demirbuken confirmed that from AOTP side closer links will be sought to East Africa in the course of

2013 for a study on the Southern Route.

Turkey enquired about the eradication efforts in Afghanistan and the number of persons arrested and

prosecuted for poppy cultivation.

The Islamic Republic of Iran would also appreciate if more efforts were focused on illicit cultivation, a

topic that had not been sufficiently addressed by Paris Pact partners so far. With a perspective on the

opium poppy farmers, the vicious circle of the opiates trade would seem more manageable. The I.R. of

Iran therefore suggested the initiation of a sustainable crop control strategy as a topic for one of the next

EWGs.

The Islamic Republic of Pakistan, on the other hand, drew attention to the need to look on demand:

without demand, the supply would automatically be reduced. Considering the illicit use of Acetic

Anhydride, Pakistan called for a stronger focus on the producer countries in addition to the transit

countries.

In this context, the Islamic Republic of Iran stressed to the importance of backtracking investigations and

proposed that a future report should concentrate on how AA enters Afghanistan and where it has its

origin.

With regards to backtracking, Mr. Demirbuken reminded delegates of UNODC’s limited role in

investigations which are for partners to take action. Mr. Demirbuken also pointed to the fact that the

Islamic Republic of Afghanistan was not represented by a delegate from the capital at this PCGM and was

therefore unable to join the discussion.

Stressing the importance of UNODC’s research capacity, Mr. Schmidt gave the floor to the next

presenter.

B) Updates on the UNODC Regional Programmes

• Update on the first year of implementation of the Regional Programme for Afghanistan and

neighbouring countries, presentation by Mr. Andrea Mancini, Programme Officer, Regional Section

for West & Central Asia, Integrated Programme and Oversight Branch, Division for Operations,

UNODC.

Mr. Mancini reiterated the rationale for developing a counter-narcotics regional programme for the

West and Central Asia region and called to mind the development timeline. He then illustrated the

Regional Programme structure with its four Sub-Programmes and the linkages with the respective

Country Programmes, before providing an update on the achievements of each of the Sub-

Programmes in the course of 2012 and outlining their key priorities for 2013. He concluded by

highlighting that the strategic priorities of the RP are defined through the RP’s governance

mechanism and that presently, the momentum of activities is high: in the first quarter of 2013 alone,

a meeting of the AKT (Afghanistan-Kyrgyzstan-Tajikistan) Initiative was held, as well as a Triangular

Initiative Meeting, the Steering Committee convened and a briefing to third parties was organized.

With reference to Mr. Mancini's presentation on the Regional Programme for Afghanistan and

neighbouring countries (RP ANC), Germany noted that there are similarities between the PPI and the RP

ANC and requested clarification on this issue.

12

France appreciated that the PPI was mentioned in the presentation, but would welcome increased

synergies between the PPI and the RP and would like to see a better articulation of the synchronization

of the two initiatives.

Mr. Mancini recognized that this was a recurrent point stressed by many partners. He clarified that many

expert recommendations emanating from the PPI had been used as a starting point of the RP ANC from

the very beginning, with the RP’s intention being to translate the Paris Pact’s findings into concrete

support. As an example in this context, staff costs are being shared. At the Third Ministerial Conference

of February 2012, the UNODC Executive Director had reported on the synchrony between the Regional

Programme and the Paris Pact process.

Mr. Schmidt drew attention to a new initiative launched within UNODC: the “Inter-regional Drug Control

Approach” with the aim to link the RPs better and to create stronger synergies with thematic

programmes and global projects. He also specified that the PPI is a policy body while RP is operational.

India noted that it would welcome a discussion on how the Paris Pact process could lead to more

tangible results.

• Update on the status of implementation of the Regional Programme for South Eastern Europe,

launched in May 2012, presentation by Mr. Tullio Santini, Chief, Regional Section for Europe,

Integrated Programme and Oversight Branch, Division for Operations, UNODC.

Mr. Santini recapitulated the objectives for the development of the Regional Programme for South

Eastern Europe (RP SEE), which was provoked by the “Balkan corridor” for heroin trafficking, and

explained its coverage and guiding principles. He highlighted the linkages between the thematic

focus of the three Sub-Programmes and the four pillars of the Vienna Declaration. Furthermore, Mr.

Santini summarized the implementation progress during 2012 and the first results and further plans

for 2013. He also outlined the support provided to the RP SEE by the Paris Pact National Strategic

Analysts based in the region.

Austria enquired why Kosovo, which is still under UNSC Resolution 1244 but has developed significantly

over the recent years, is covered by the RP SEE.

Mr. Santini replied that UNODC had received a request for assistance from Kosovo and is in close contact

with UN country team. Possibilities of cooperation with UNDP are being explored to support Kosovo’s

anti-corruption efforts. While there is still a lot of ground work required to increase the effectiveness of

assistance, Kosovo’s interest is encouraging.

Turkey showed concern that there could be an overlap in the area of strategic analysis between the work

of the RP SEE and Europol and SELEC. Therefore, Turkey would recommend for the RP to place the focus

on action.

In response, Mr. Santini ensured partners that the RP SEE would not need to embark on strategic

analysis wherever it can benefit of the work of other key actors in the region. Thanking Turkey for its

financial support, he called attention to the Memorandum of Understanding which has been signed

between UNODC and SELEC in 2012 and to the efforts to establish a regular line of communication

between the two organizations.

13

C) Updates on activities by Paris Pact partners

• Strengthening regional initiatives – the joint INTERPOL/CARICC initiative, presentation by Mr.

Gianni Baldi, Assistant Director, Head of Drugs and Criminal Organizations (DCO) Sub-Directorate,

INTERPOL.

Mr. Baldi outlined Interpol’s mission of preventing and fighting crime through enhanced

international police cooperation. In line with the Paris Pact’s thematic areas of focus, he then

introduced examples of relevant cooperation of Interpol with CARICC, UNODC and the INCB.

Recently, the cooperation agreement between Interpol and CARICC has entered the phase of

implementation and CARICC will have access to Interpol’s databases for cases relating to drug

trafficking. In addition, a small Interpol team to be placed in CARICC. With regards to Sub-

Programme 1 of the Regional Programme on Afghanistan and neighbouring countries, Interpol is

ready to assist with financial support to conduct regional activities, particularly Triangular Initiative

related. With INCB, Interpol is participating in the task forces of Project Cohesion and Project Prism,

collaborating on risk assessment and initiating and supporting backtracking investigations. Finally,

Interpol has established a Money Laundering Working Group with the aim to exchange case

information, to network and to agree on joint actions.

In response to a question from the Russian Federation concerning Interpol’s interaction with CARICC:

and the information Interpol expects to receive from CARICC, Mr. Baldi replied that Interpol is already

maintaining national centres in all seven member states of CARICC. As an operational organization,

Interpol is available to assist in investigations and to step in when assistance needed.

The European Union referred to the EU work under the Heroine Route programme: under this

framework, the EU collaborates with UNODC on the Container Control Programme, and in another

segment coordinates with INTERPOL, a closer cooperation with CARICC is also envisaged.

• Update on the achievements of the NATO-Russia Council, presentation by Ms. Gwendoline Vamos,

Officer, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Ms. Vamos briefly presented key elements of NATO’s vast programme of activities in Afghanistan

and neighbouring countries. NATO is acting in close collaboration with the Russian Federation, as

supply for ISAF troops transits through Russian territory and helicopter maintenance training for

Afghan pilots is held in Russia

Part of the larger agenda of the NATO-Russia Council are projects on drug trafficking, on which NATO

is working together with the Regional Programme on Afghanistan and neighbouring countries. NATO

is convinced that an approach which includes all countries affected by opiates trafficking is vital for a

positive impact. In this context, NATO developed a training project as flagship of the regional

approach to fighting drugs. While the project was initially conceived for the five Central Asian

Republics, it was expanded to Pakistan in 2010. In total, 124 trainings have already been conducted

for 2500 persons, who were trained in the Russian Federation and in Turkey. The curriculum includes

canine training in cooperation with the RP ANC, as well as specialised courses for female police

officers. A training participants’ database guarantees that individual persons do not receive similar

trainings twice, and a uniform questionnaire is applied for evaluation purposes.

Ms. Vamos concluded by recognizing that there is plenty of room for more activities in the

framework of the NATO-Afghanistan cooperation, especially beyond 2014. NATO is therefore liaising

with all countries concerned to meet their needs and is particularly grateful to UNODC’s Regional

Office for Central Asia for its role in facilitating cooperation.

• Interactive Map on Elimination of Drug Production in Afghanistan / Federal Drug Control Service of

the Russian Federation (Information-Analytical System), presentation by Mr. Igor Voblikov,

Counsellor, Official Representative of the Federal Drug Control Service of the Russian Federation in

Austria

With reference to the statement of Mr. Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation,

made at the Third Ministerial Conference of the Paris Pact Partners in February 2012, outlined the

goals of the project under discussion: an information-analytical system of an interactive map to

support the elimination of the drug production in Afghanistan. In cooperation with the international

community and by making use of modern digital information technologies, a powerful real-time

operating resource is envisaged to monitor, accumulate and analyze all possible drug-related

information on Afghanistan with high accuracy. The planned information resource could be an

important project for the Paris Pact by serving two major sets of tasks: global political tasks in the

way it would help to foster partnerships and harmonize actions, and operational tasks in the support

it would provide to crimes investigations by precisely localising the drug production infrastructure. In

recognition of the international responsibility for eliminating drugs, the Interactive Map is envisioned

as a public information resource.

Mr. Murshudlu thanked all presenters for their very informative interventions.

Item III THE PARIS PACT INITIATIVE: PHASE IV

This session was chaired by Ms. Kayoko Gotoh, Chief, Integrated Programme and Oversight Branch,

Division for Operations, UNODC.

• Overview of the project document of Phase IV of the Paris Pact project, including funding

requirements, presentation by Ms. Marie-Anne Menier, Paris Pact Coordinator, UNODC.

As Phase III of the Paris Pact project was coming to an end, Ms. Menier summarized key elements of

the last three years of the Paris Pact process. She thanked all partners, and in particular the funding

partners and the hosts of expert meetings, for their ongoing support of the Paris Pact and its

objectives, and emphasised that the several successes throughout this phase could only have been

achieved together.

Ms. Menier elaborated that the Phase IV project document shared with partners prior to this

meeting was drafted based on the decisions made by the partnership at the 2012 PCGM. The

document is the result of a detailed consultation process and is fully aligned with the Vienna

Declaration. The document is based on the existing three projects components and includes a new

activity entitled the ‘Global Annual Report’ to help the partnership take stock on the implementation

of the Vienna Declaration. The Secretariat stands committed to maximizing synergies within UNODC

and with partners throughout Phase IV of the project, which is global, inter-regional and inter-

thematic in its nature.

Ms. Menier remarked that several pending issues remain to be decided by the partners over the

coming weeks. These issues were detailed in a survey circulated to all participants and shared with

Permanent Missions: the timing of the next PCGM, the thematic focus and hosts of EWGs in the first

year of Phase IV and partners’ prioritization of locations for the anticipated expansion of the National

Strategic Analyst network. Ms. Menier urged participants to also help identify a non-controversial

functional title for the National Strategic Analysts.

Ms. Gotoh summarized the presentation and the decisions which are left to be taken.

France reiterated that the Paris Pact Initiative remains the best global framework for action to combat

the threat of opiates and expressed the hope that Phase IV would be promptly launched in advance of

the 2014 transition expected in Afghanistan. The delegation congratulated UNODC, and the Paris Pact

Secretariat in particular, on the comprehensiveness of the project document as it clearly reflects the

incorporation of several lessons learned, resulting in a clearer definition of the work of the National

Strategic Analysts network, improved support to South Eastern Europe, a revitalization of ADAM and,

most importantly, improved synergies especially with the Regional Programme for Afghanistan and

neighbouring countries. France assured continuing support to the Initiative’s work, politically,

operationally and financially, with a pledge of 200,000 EUR for Phase IV in 2013.

The United States of America thanked the Paris Pact Secretariat for the efforts to compile the project

document and subsequently endorsed the launch and start of Phase IV for 2013. The U.S. Delegation

pledged 500,000 USD for Phase IV and urged partners to follow the guidance provided to the partnership

in the Phase III Independent Evaluation to demonstrate common commitment and adequate support to

allow for the sustainable functioning of the Secretariat.

16

The European Union congratulated the partnership on reaching its 10th anniversary, adding that the new

project document is the appropriate means and introduces a novel approach to the implementation of

the Vienna Declaration. The EU emphasized the importance of maintaining a balanced approach to PPI

engagement. Although the EU cannot provide immediate financial support to the Phase IV budget, this

would not rule out the potential for future contributions. The EU commended UNODC and the Paris Pact

Secretariat for their motivating efforts and asked the delegation abreast of all future developments.

India thanked the Paris Pact Secretariat for its initiative in putting together the project document adding

that it shares the global concern over opiates and would continue to support the PPI as it has done since

its inception. India expressed concern that after 10 years of PPI existence, the quantity of opiates had in

fact not declined which underlines the relevance and importance of the work that still needed to be

carried out to combat this global threat. The project document for Phase IV would take into account

these issues. India was willing to fully support Phase IV politically, operationally and financially with an

amount to be confirmed in due course.

Turkey announced that it strongly considered hosting one of the forthcoming Expert Working Groups,

possibly in last quarter of 2013 or the first quarter of 2014. The Delegation remarked that future

meetings should not be convened without Afghan participation from Kabul.

The Russian Federation expressed its appreciation to the Paris Pact Secretariat for the outstanding work

in preparing the Phase IV project document which sets constructive goals for the future. At the time of

the transition in Afghanistan, it would be necessary for the entire partnership to think hard about how to

best support the country, also with attention to alternative development. Of particular importance for

the Russian Federation were financial flows, therefore training in the detection of illicit financial flows

and a follow-up to the Tashkent questionnaire were suggested as themes for next year’s expert meeting

on this topic. The Russian Federation indicated its intention to continue to support the PPI work also in

financial terms and offered 200,000 USD to initiate the launch of Phase IV.

Ms. Gotoh thanked all partners for endorsing the Phase IV project document and for the pledges made.

Ms. Gotoh then steered the discussion towards the timing of subsequent Policy Meetings as it impacts

several operational issues.

The United States Delegation explained that a high level meeting is scheduled to take place in the

margins of the 2014 Commission on Narcotic Drugs which could pose a challenge for the adequate

attendance of the 2014 PCGM if it was held in the margins of the CND. The Russian Federation added

that holding the annual Policy Meeting in the fourth quarter of the next year or in February or late spring

would provide more flexibility rather than in the margins of the CND. The Russian Federation stated that

the Policy Meeting could also benefit from greater synchronization with the relevant Regional

Programme Steering Committee Meetings. France furthered this notion to support the holding of Policy

Meetings at a complimentary time to Regional Programme Meetings and that this approach could be

applied to the 2014 Policy Meeting to guarantee the presence of priority country representatives.

Summarizing the options raised, Ms. Gotoh assured partners that the Paris Pact Secretariat will use their

guidance to liaise with the Regional Programme teams to conduct meetings in conjunction where

feasible.

As a final point on the agenda, Ms. Menier drew attention to the need to define a new functional title

for the Paris Pact National Strategic Analyst network. If there were no objections, the future title would

be Paris Pact Research and Liaison Officers.

17

CLOSING SESSION

The closing session was chaired by Ms. Kayoko Gotoh, Chief, Integrated Programme and Oversight

Branch, Division for Operations, UNODC.

Ms. Gotoh summarized the meeting’s outcomes:

1. The Project Document in support of the implementation of Paris Pact Phase IV was unanimously

endorsed by partners. Paris Pact partners also agreed that Phase IV implementation should begin

as scheduled as of 1 June 2013.

2. Pledges were announced for Phase IV implementation equalling a combined approximate total

of 1 Million USD:

o United States of America: 500,000 USD

o France: 200,000 EUR

o The Russian Federation: 200,000 USD

o India: amount to be confirmed in the coming weeks

The European Union emphasized its ongoing commitment to the Initiative and is currently

exploring the possibility of a future contribution to Phase IV of the Paris Pact.

Partners were reminded that in order to achieve the objective of the Initiatives, it is vital for all

members of the partnership to politically, operationally and where feasible, financially support

Phase IV implementation.

3. Turkey offered to host a Law Enforcement-themed Expert Working Group of the partnership’s

choosing in the fourth quarter of 2013 or the first quarter of 2014. Ms. Gotoh extended her

thanks to the Turkish delegation for offering to host. Ms Gotoh noted the Russian Federation’s

interest in pursuing meetings on the topic of Financial Flows to maintain the momentum started

at the Tri-Fold Expert Working Group meetings in February.

4. The recommendations from the October 2012 Expert Working Group on Afghan Opiate Abuse

Prevention were formally endorsed by the partnership along with the conclusions of the Tri-Fold

Law Enforcement-themed Expert Working Groups held at Europol in The Hague, the Netherlands

in February 2013.

The newly endorsed recommendations and conclusions are to be considered as priorities for

action for Paris Pact partners, including UNODC, for the next year and beyond. All Expert

Working Group recommendations from the 2011 meetings remain valid and should be

considered as a stepping stone towards achieving the objectives of the Paris Pact Initiative.

5. A survey on the Phase IV functioning of the Consultative Mechanism and expansion of the

National Strategic Analyst Network was circulated to all partners present at the Policy Meeting.

Once the responses are consolidated and analysed by the Secretariat, findings would be used to

ensure the timely and efficient functioning of the Consultative Mechanism and to begin

partnership dialogue on moving forward the expansion of the field component of the project.

6. Ms. Gotoh elaborated that no additional Policy Consultative Group Meeting would take place in

2013. As agreed by partners present, future Policy Consultative Group Meetings should be held

18

either in February or late spring, and that Regional Programme Steering Committee Meetings

should be synchronized to this schedule where feasible.

7. It was agreed that the National Strategic Analyst functional title would be changed to encompass

the main areas of their work. The new title will be “Paris Pact Research and Liaison Officer”.

As remarked earlier by partners present, Ms. Gotoh noted the absence of Afghan representation from

the national level and reiterated the importance of country level Afghanistan representation in future

Paris Pact fora.

Thereafter, Ms. Gotoh closed the meeting with appreciation for the commitment of those present.

Annex I

RECOMMENDATIONS / CONCLUSIONS

as endorsed by the 10th

Policy Consultative Group Meeting

RECOMMENDATIONS

At the conclusion of the Expert Working Group on Afghan Opiate Abuse Prevention of the Paris Pact

Initiative, 4-5 October 2012, Vienna, Austria, participants have agreed that the following actions are

recommended to prevent the abuse of Afghan Opiates, in line with the principle of shared responsibility

and a comprehensive and balanced approach, and with the assistance of UNODC as requested. Paris Pact

partners will report on progress of implementation of the recommendations at the annual Policy

Consultative Group Meeting.

1. The study of the risk and protective factors that make individuals, primarily children and youth,

vulnerable to drug use and substance abuse in Paris Pact countries, and the use of the results to

inform the development of drug prevention standards, policies and programmes.

2. The implementation of drug prevention policies and programmes based on a scientific approach and

taking into account measurement of impact on behavior and relevant aspects including the cultural

milieu where necessary.

3. The study and expansion of the variety and scope of ongoing drug prevention policies and

programmes in terms of settings (e.g. family, educational institutions, workplace, the community,

media, religious institutions, etc.), developmental stages (e.g. early childhood, middle childhood,

early adolescence, etc.), and level of risk targeted (universal, selective, indicated).

4. The inclusion of a rigorous evaluation component in drug prevention policies and programmes.

5. The consideration with appreciation of the process of developing the international standards on drug

use prevention which is supported by UNODC and to recommend to bring this issue to the attention

of the next relevant Commission on Narcotic Drugs proposing a relevant draft resolution.

6. The provision of continuous training for policy makers, national experts and practitioners on drug

prevention that is based on scientific evidence.

7. Adequate resources allocated for drug prevention policies and programmes that are in line with the

recommendations above (1. – 6.).

8. The study of the factors particularly relevant to opiate abuse prevention efforts should be further

continued under the Paris Pact Initiative.

(Vienna, 4-5 October 2012)

CONCLUSIONS

The meeting recognised the progress that had been made within the different regions incorporated

under the Paris Pact Initiative. Notable successes had been achieved through the networks established

and the activities conducted within the regions, however, it was noted that greater coordination

between the regions is required.

All participants agreed on the continued validity of the 2011 Expert recommendations from New Delhi,

India that should be considered as a stepping stone towards achieving the objectives of the Paris Pact

Initiative.

In particular, the meeting noted the importance of strengthening inter-regional coordination to combat

the diversion of chemical precursors to Afghanistan in the areas of:

1) Cooperation between competent authorities and the chemical industry. The meeting noted

that although numerous valuable initiatives are already underway, there is much work to be

done to improve coordination.

2) Intelligence sharing between regional intelligence centres should be enhanced. Connecting

regions is a priority as individual regional actions are currently not shared.

3) Backtracking of information and investigations need to be initiated and coordinated at the

regional level on a standard basis between neighbouring countries and regions;

4) Creation of platforms for forensic laboratories to develop and share forensic intelligence. A

standardised methodology for analysis and sharing of information is necessary in order to plot

distribution from production to end use.

Experts also emphasised the importance of:

� Rolling out concrete activities based on the operation ‘Cohesion’ model;

� Encouraging more effective investigations to strengthen coordination to review the role of the

internet in precursor trafficking;

� Partners’ ongoing use of the PEN-Online system; partners who have not registered to use the

system were encouraged to do so; and

� The 2011 New Delhi Expert recommendations as a vital foundation for improved inter-regional

dialogue in-line with the Vienna Declaration.

Counter Narcotics Enforcement: Expert Working Group on Precursors

(EUROPOL/The Hague, 11 February 2013)

21

CONCLUSIONS

The meeting recognised the progress that had been made within the different regions incorporated

under the Paris Pact Initiative. New emerging trends of heroin trafficking through the southern maritime

route involving Eastern Africa as a transit point was noted by several partners. As drug movements

within Africa remain partially unclear, additional counter-measures and attention is urgently required on

the subject.

All participants agreed on the continued validity of the 2011 Expert recommendations from Islamabad,

Pakistan that should be considered as a stepping stone towards achieving the objectives of the Paris Pact

Initiative. In particular, the meeting noted the importance of taking into account the developing situation

on the ground with reference to cross-border cooperation. A special emphasis is to be placed on the

following priority areas:

1) Continued support should be focused on Afghanistan and other countries based on the Paris

Pact Initiative ‘priority country’ approach;

2) Coordination at the national level remains of the highest importance. Involvement of the public

prosecutor’s offices is considered as extremely important to ensure that collected evidence is

properly fixed, documented and legalized to allow the use of this evidence by counterparts from

other countries when and if needed;

3) Bi- and multi-lateral information sharing and coordination of operations must continue

through intensive use of existing cooperation platforms;

4) There is a need to develop cooperation networks between regional centres. This entails

bringing together existing regional cooperation entities such as SELEC, JPC, CARICC, ECO DCCU,

EUROPOL as well as global partners such as Interpol and the World Custom Organization to

explore how to improve cooperation and simultaneous diminish institutions working in isolation;

5) To make the best practical use of the Liaison Officers for information exchange, organizing and

conducting joint operations. EURPOL and SELEC can serve as important examples for the way

forward. Existing potential, including potential provided by the liaison officers should be

translated into practical results;

6) Continue the work of cataloguing and systematizing legal instruments at the national, regional

and international levels in support of law enforcement and legal cooperation.

Frameworks (EUROPOL/The Hague, 12 February 2013)

CONCLUSIONS

The meeting recognised that vigilance must be maintained to identify illicit financial flows through

known methods such as cash smuggling and the abuse/use of money remittance systems such as

Hawala, but also through new payment methods, trade-based money-laundering and other developing

methods.

All participants agreed on the continued validity of the 2011 expert recommendations from Abu Dhabi,

United Arab Emirates that should be considered as a stepping stone towards achieving the objectives of

the Paris Pact Initiative. In particular, the meeting noted the importance of prioritizing the

recommendations to ensure the feasibility of implementation.

The meeting also noted the importance to encourage all Paris Pact partners to continue the work on

illicit financial flows related to opiates originating from Afghanistan under the auspices of the Paris Pact,

commencing with the following priorities:

� A Road Map is being created to tackle these aspects of illicit financial flows. Essential "building

blocks" will include:

o Establishing coordination and delivery capability for the implementation of the

programme;

o Strengthening legal and regulatory frameworks for Anti-Money Laundering/Combatting

the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT);

o Strengthening AML/CFT-related operational capacities for law enforcement and judicial

practitioners;

o Addressing the vulnerability of the informal banking sector (Hawalas and alternate

money/value transfer service providers);

o Promoting illicit asset forfeiture and recovery of criminal proceeds;

o Promoting cooperation and information sharing among AML/CFT practitioners to

combat illicit financial flows;

� Assisting with the completion of the analysis of the data collected through the 2009 Tashkent

questionnaire. (UNODC re-circulated the questionnaire in March 2013 to respective Permanent

Missions for updates and new submissions);

� Sharing of information included in the Tashkent questionnaire. Partners will be offered the

option to share their respective information with others partners. Confidentiality of information

will be maintained for partners who prefer not to share information.

� There is a need to undertake a mapping of illicit financial flows of opiates originating from

Afghanistan to comprehensively depict money flows geography;

� Mentoring is a valuable investment that offers long-term capacity-building and training

designed to assist specified Paris Pact partners in establishing, improving, and implementing

their AML/CTF regimes;

Counter Narcotics Enforcement: Expert Working Group on Illicit Financial Flows (EUROPOL/The

Hague, 13 February 2013)

23

� Funding is critical to move this work on illicit financial flows forward. UNODC’s Global

Programme Against Money Laundering has developed a Concept Note with concrete outcomes,

outputs and indicators of achievements that can be shared with interested Paris Pact partners.

(The concept note was presented and discussed at the side-event on the Paris Pact work on the

illicit financial flows from Afghanistan at the 56th session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs on

12 March 2013.)
