DEVELOPMENT OF THE DRUG BUSINESS IN THE WORLD

In the article, the author, based on current statistical data, analyzes the international drug situation at the present stage and comes to the conclusion that the current anti-drug trafficking system in the world is unacceptably low. Taking into account this conclusion, specific proposals are formulated to improve the situation in this area. The international scale of drug trafficking and the involvement of an increasing number of states in the global network of illegal transportation routes do not currently allow countries to clearly distinguish between producers of narcotic drugs and their consumers. It is only possible to trace certain trends in the spread of drug trafficking in relation to different continents and analyze them. Criminal groups are taking advantage of globalization, expanding their networks of influence and gaining international status. Globalization also entails the need to reform the structure of global and regional security institutions. In this work, an attempt was made to review the drug situation and drug business on a global scale, since the fight against drug trafficking is a task that has long gone beyond the boundaries of one state, and this fight can only be waged through the efforts of the international community as a whole.
