The World Drug Report presents the most comprehensive statistical view of today's illicit drug situation. This year's edition reports signs of long-term containment of the global problem. However;; the overall trend masks contrasting regional situations;; which the report examines in detail. For instance;; while an impressive multi-year reduction in opium poppy cultivation continued in South-East Asia;; Afghanistan recorded a large increase in 2006. More interceptions of cocaine and heroin shipments across the world have played an important part in stabilizing the market. However;; as we witness successes in some areas;; challenges appear in others. Although drug abuse levels are stabilizing globally;; countries along major and new trafficking routes;; such as those now going through Africa;; may face increasing levels of drug consumption. The World Drug Report 2007 also discusses a possible method to better assess and monitor the role played by organized crime in transnational drug trafficking.
