OAS to pursue drug fight

Nov 19, 2008 News

Reliable and advanced information are necessary to assist Organisation of American States to pursue efficient methods of combating the illegal drug problem.
This was among the sentiments expressed yesterday when the Ministry of Home Affairs hosted a workshop on National Drug Information Network.
Speaking at the opening of the workshop, Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee, expressed confidence that the workshop will help considerably to assist agencies and technical personnel in establishing information systems to tackle drugs.
The workshop began with the aim of assisting authorities in garnering timely information on illegal drugs.
It also aims at fostering institutional, participatory democratic approaches towards the achievement of a crime free and healthy society, founded on the principles of social justice, rule of law and respect for authority.
St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Dominica, Haiti and Guyana are the territories under consideration for the improvement of the information base to combat drug trafficking.
The devastating effects of drug abuse, the illegal drug trade and its impact on the health of citizens of OAS member countries continue to be challenging and require a multilateral response.
Stakeholders from Criminal Anti Narcotics Unit (CANU), the Food and Drug Department of the Ministry of Health, CARICOM, the Salvation Army and the Ministry of Education attended the workshop.
