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.

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.

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;

Hague, 13 February 2013)

� 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.)
