PREFACE At the twentieth special session of the General Assembly in 1998, States Members agreed to make significant progress towards the control of supply and demand for <strong>illicit</strong> <strong>drug</strong>s by the year 2008. They noted that this objective could only be achieved by means of the 'balanced approach' (giving demand as much attention as supply), and on the basis of regular assessments of the <strong>drug</strong> problem. The aim of the present report is to contribute to such assessments by presenting supply and demand statistics and analysis on the evolution of the <strong>global</strong> <strong>illicit</strong> <strong>drug</strong> problem. Reliable and systematic data to assess the <strong>drug</strong> problem, and to monitor progress in achieving the goals set by the General Assembly, however, is not readily available. The present report is based on data obtained primarily from the annual reports questionnaire (ARQ) sent by Governments to the <strong>United</strong> <strong>Nations</strong> <strong>Office</strong> on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in 2002, supplemented by other sources. Two of the main data limitations are that: (a) these annual questionnaires are not systematic enough, both in terms of the number of countries responding and of content; and (b) most countries lack the monitoring systems required to produce reliable, comprehensive and internationally comparable data. There have been some recent improvements. National <strong>illicit</strong> coca and opium monitoring systems, supported by UNODC, are now providing annual cultivation estimates for the main producing countries. However, data on other links in the <strong>drug</strong> chain, particularly on the demand side, are progressively weaker. This report tries to overcome the data limitations by presenting, annually, estimates and analysis of <strong>illicit</strong> <strong>drug</strong> production, trafficking and consumption. The first section deals with Trends in <strong>illicit</strong> <strong>drug</strong> production, trafficking and consumption. The second section provides the Statistics on which the <strong>global</strong>ly aggregated estimates and <strong>trends</strong> are based. The difficulties of measuring an <strong>illicit</strong> activity are well known. Although they impose obvious limitations on data, it is possible to make reasonable order-of-magnitude estimates. It is also highly desirable to do so, because such estimates encourage transparency, stimulate discussion and build knowledge. Empirical evidence is the only realistic basis for policy-making. This report, by presenting what we know, and by showing what we do not know, contributes to building the knowledge base for better policy. It also sets the basis for more focussed action to achieve the goals set in 1998 and reiterated at the Ministerial segment of the UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs in April <strong>2003</strong>.
