The purpose of this Report on the Drug Problem in the Americas is to reflect that agreement and fulfill that mandate. Our intention is to help the Heads of State and Government of the Americas establish a frame of reference to address this problem in their countries and to guide future multilateral policies and actions.
In order to fulfill that task as broadly and usefully as possible, we decided to adopt two different and yet complementary approaches. This involved, on the one hand, carrying out a technical study of drug use, production, transit, and trafficking and of the scope of the drug business in the Hemisphere, while at the same time examining the public policies adopted to address the problems of public health, illegality, and violence that they give rise to, as well as their social and political impact on our societies. We refer to that part of the report as the Analytical Report. As an important complement to this effort, we determined that it was important to develop scenarios for the Drug Problem in the Americas Report, which, unlike the Analytical Report, would not examine the current state of affairs, but rather possible future drug trends. This report was developed based on opinions and perspectives of leading academics, political leaders, social leaders, and experts from all over the Americas, representing all schools of thought on the subject, who eagearly took part in this endeavor.
