Recommendations of the Meeting |
The following are recommendations adopted by the 24th meeting
of Heads of Law Enforcement Agencies of the Asia-Pacific Region (HONLEA):
-
to exchange international news and to cooperate in
efforts for successfully combating trafficking of narcotic drugs in conformity
with the resolution of the 1998 Special Session of the UN General Assembly on
drugs;
-
to raise cooperations in view of the momentum, importance
and value of HONLEA meeting as well as to cooperate in reducing the illegal
cultivation and production with the approval of success achieved through
cooperation in the region;
-
to provide practical training and technical assistance so
as to improve quality and skill of prevention and suppression work;
-
to increase financial assistance for the substitution
development projects of Myanmar, and to start transnational cooperations between
Bangladesh, India and Myanmar;
-
to raise the control of drug trafficking by sea and to
improve the preventive skill since it is found that there has been an increase
in abuse of stimulants and ecstasy even though production and abuse of opium have
been decreasing in the region;
-
to raise cooperation in preventive and suppression work
and to disseminate technologies since there have been cases including
trafficking of drugs being done through modern and complicated means, money
laundering, making of counterfeit money and false credit-cards, and trafficking
in persons;
-
to send information in time by the countries
even though
the distribution of news by INTERPOL is modern and effective as well as to
cooperate with the organization like UNDCP and International Customs
Organizations;
-
(h) to cooperate in legal affairs of the countries to combat
trafficking of drugs, to exchange criminals and to propagate the Law on money
laundering;

to raise cooperation between governments in accord with
the agreement contained in ASEAN and China Cooperations in Response to Dangerous
Drugs, ACCORD 2015.
