Myanmar Narcotics Control Annual Report 2020

1. The world at large is now being affected by drug abuse, drug production and drug

trafficking to the cores of every country’s social infrastructure threatening not only health,

economics, social fabrics, cultures and politics but also undermining the daily existence

of life itself.

2. The financial profits gained from trafficking drugs are utilized to create extreme

terrorism, arms smuggling, sea piracy, human trafficking, illegal logging, counterfeit

industry, corruption and transnational crimes.

3. Myanmar is a signatory to all the 3 drug control UN conventions and have been

an active member cooperating with member states and suppressing illegal trafficking of

drugs and psychotropic substances.

4. Myanmar is also in the forefront of enforcement of drugs control cooperating with

international states, countries in the region and also with the UN and International

Non-government Organizations and working actively drafting drug rules and regulations,

educating opium poppy farmers with alternative development programmes, opening

drug rehabilitation facilities and coping with harm reduction.

5. In line with the 2016 UNGASS Myanmar has drafted a new Drug Control Policy

on 20 February 2018. Subsequently, the National Strategic Plan was also adopted by

the Cabinet (3/2020) on 5 February 2020. The Action Plan relative and conducive to the

respective states and regions are also in the pipeline to be drawn up.

6. With the intention that drug crimes and punishments commensurate and are

justifiable in accordance to international practices, the 1993 Drug Law was amended on

14 February 2018. Rules pertaining to the new law are also being drafted and soon will

be promulgated.

7. The State has also invested from its coffers to develop the infrastructures of the

illegal poppy growing areas, building roads and bridges, constructing irrigations for

agriculture as well as consumption, distributing hybrids for livestock, recovering waste

Introduction

land for cultivation, providing trainings and searching, creating markets for value added

products.

8. The Alternative Development Committee had undertaken a 3 year Pilot Project

in Naung Tayar of the Southern Shan State using government budget and implemented

during the fiscal years of 2017 to 2020.

9. In the same vein, the Central Committee for Drugs Abuse Control together with

UNODC implemented coffee and tea plantation-project as substitution crops for poppy

in Loilem township in the southern Shan State from 2016 to 2020. The successful project

has been extended to 2022 exporting 100 tons of coffee to France in 2020. Similarly,

with the cooperation with ONCB of Thailand, a sustainable alternative livelihood devel-

opment project covering Mong Lin, Mong Hae and Mong Koe village tracts of Tachileik

District in the eastern Shan State is also implemented.

10. In collaboration with UNODC, Myanmar has been conducting illicit crop monitor-

ing on an annual basis and in addition taking socio-economic surveys of the poppy

farmers. In 2019 opium production was estimated at 508 tons, with a cultivation area of

33,100 hectares. 2020 saw a decline of 405 tons and 29,500 hectares. The figures

shows 11% drop in cultivation and 20% drop in production too. In comparison to world

figures Myanmar has now become the third from second in terms of production.

11. It is very important not to miss out the crucial role of control when we talk about

stimulants and its precursor chemicals. Controlling chemicals is in particular utmost

important due to the fact that Myanmar is sandwiched between industrialized major

chemical producing countries of the world. The Precursor Control Committee has been

scrutinizing all imports of chemicals in line with the stipulations of the INCB and close

monitoring and cooperation with other countries. 28 chemicals are under control in

Myanmar with an addition of 10 more notified by the Ministry of Health and Sports on 27

February 2020, totaling 38 chemicals and 132 drugs under control.

12. To be in line with the norms and practices of a democratic system, the Myanmar

Police Force is also upgrading its capacities and structures. The Department of Drug

Enforcement has also been extended its taskforces from 3 group taskforces and 50

7


subgroup units to 10 group taskforces and 65 subgroups units. Also it has been

equipped with state of the art search and Xray machines, forensic laboratories equip-

ment including mobile testing equipment to provide first hand tests in the field operations.

13. In 2019 November, a Ministerial meeting of the MOU 6 countries of the Mekong

Region took place in Bangkok, Thailand where member states agreed unanimously to

fully cooperate and conduct major operations respectively to control of movements of

precursor chemicals in the golden triangle region.

14. Myanmar undertook Operations 1511 in collaboration with the military from

January 1 to March 31 which resulted in the arrests of 1173 culprits, seizures of 197

million stimulant tablets from 955 drug cases amounting to a street value of 645 billion

kyat.

15. During 2020, Myanmar Police Force bagged 13,960 drug cases, arresting

19,994 culprits and seized Kyat 1,436.34 billion worth of drugs from which 2,782 billion

worth of assets were confiscated. At present, 31 operations are ongoing and it is

worthwhile to record some personnel gave their lives during the operations.

16. Educating the public on the dangers of drug abuse is also one of the priority

agenda the Central Committee for Drugs Abuse has embarked and with collaboration

with UNODC, drafted a prevention guiding booklet for families and has distributed to the

whole country. Community based and school-based talks on prevention of drug abuse

were conducted in the whole country in 2020, namely 9006 times within the community

and schools where 94,8741 attended.

17. To address the problems of drug demand reduction, detoxification and treatment

for drug addicts, harm reduction to drug users, rehabilitation and reintegration to the

community of ex-drug users and access to treatment services, Myanmar has established

29 major drug treatment centers, 56 smaller centers and 89 methadone maintenance

centers spread out in the whole country. In addition, seminars, workshops and refresher

training courses are also provided to the medical staff on an annual basis.

18. Community based rehabilitation programs are conducted together with trainings

to upgrade volunteer supervisors, capacity building, inclusive of counselling and peer

8


education are also carried out. Subject to availability of budget allotment, additional

rehabilitation centers are planned to be opened in respective regions around the country.

19. To curb the illicit poppy cultivation, production of stimulants, synthetic drugs and

the effective control of precursors trafficking, coordination meetings have been conduct-

ed with Ethnic Armed Organizations and the control of drug control has also been

included in the Agenda of the 8 steps of the peace process.

20. The Central Committee for Drugs Abuse Control is totally committed as a

national duty to drug enforcement, leaving all options open to control drug production,

reduce drug demand and urge the people of Myanmar to join hands in this noble

endeavor.

1. To safeguard the socio economic and peace of lives of the people of Myanmar from

the menace of drugs, with a balanced approach of law enforcement, development and

health sectors, it is imperative the commitment of the people based on the spirit of

nationalism, national duty as well as individual responsibility to work together with the

government.

2. To this end, it is crucial to undertake and tackle the problems with a strong

commitment and approach engulfing drug abuse, illicit trafficking of drugs, harm reduc-

tion, peace and stability, development, human rights and equality.

3. With the prevailing Covid-19 pandemic that the world is facing, drug traffickers will

by any means take advantage of the dire situation. In this regard, it is most important that

responsible law enforcement officers prepare and act in accordance to the regulations

notified by the health authorities.

and drug addicts providing continuous preventive measures, treatment, rehabilitation

and other necessary health services with the aims of educating drug abusers the

dangers as well as consequences of drug abuse.

5. For the general public, it is important not only to jointly prevent drug abuse in the

community but also to take appropriate measures for the children and youth towards a

healthy life to stay away from drugs by monitoring closely through family and school

environments. In case of doubts of drug abuse and addiction, to get in touch promptly

with the closest health facilities and youth centers to get health services.

6. It is important to create hobbies, jobs, sports facilities and social works so that youths

can have easy access to occupy their free time and deter them from drugs abuse.
