Amphetamine-type stimulants in Latin America

This regional report is the first situation assessment for Latin America put forward under the Global SMART Programme. It forms one of the key steps in providing consolidated up-to-date analysis, based on the information shared by Member States.

It is hoped that the information on drug trends presented in this report will make a practical contribution to addressing the significant threat posed by the illicit manufacture of, trafficking in and use of ATS, and to a lesser extent of NPS, in the Latin American region.

The report aims to place policy makers in a better position to evaluate the drug situation and make informed decisions on intervention and prevention strategies.
