520 _aSummary: “Opiates originating in Afghanistan threaten the health and well-being of people in many regions of the world. Their illicit trade also adversely impacts governance, security, stability and development—in Afghanistan, in its neighbours, in the broader region and beyond. ‘The Global Afghan Opium Trade: A Threat Assessment,’ the second such report of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime research project on the topic, covers worldwide flows of Afghan opiates, as well as trafficking in precursor chemicals used to turn opium into heroin. By providing a better understanding of the global impact of Afghan opiates, this report can help the international community identify vulnerabilities and possible counter-measures. Heroin is the most dangerous drug worldwide. This report presents data on the distribution of trafficking flows for Afghan opiates and their health impact through- out the world. Trafficking in Afghan opiates is also very lucrative, generating some US$ 61 billion in illicit funds in 2009 (out of US$68 billion for the global illicit opiate trade, including other production sources). Most of this money went into the pockets of traffickers all along the transnational heroin distribution routes, and some went to insurgents”—(Preface).
