Illegal arms & drugs pouring into Haiti by sea are fueling violence & instability.   With support from Global Affairs Canada, we’re training the Haitian Coast Guard to board vessels, disrupt trafficking & fight organized crime.   This will help strengthen maritime & regional security.

Encouraged to see UN Office on Drugs & Crime training making a difference on the ground. With our support, Liberia’s Drug Enforcement Agency intercepted a major drug shipment worth over $77,000 - a clear sign that investing in national capacities can help tackle drug trafficking & organized crime.

Impressive work by Anti Narcotics Force, seizing 2.6 tons of opium disguised as raisins in a shipment from Afghanistan to Canada. We must remain vigilant as Afghan opiates continue to make their way to global markets. Sustained support by UN Office on Drugs & Crime and donors is key to addressing this threat.
