Description
Summary:The paper is dealing with the circulation of non-regulated industrial medical drugs. Personal enquiries have been conducted is nowadays at the crossroads of maritime, aerial and terrestrial roads which are conditioning the destination and passage of both illegal and low-quality drugs. In that respect, a second section is interested with the geo-policy of the counterfeit products. We give instances of the modalities of the production of the illicit substances, and we describe security mechanisms that have prepared for tackling social counterfeit networks. Reference at the global level is therefore indispensable because the geographical distance is no more an obstructive component. Third section states the legal, material and human means of control that have been implemented for improving better pharmaceutical procurement and distribution. We estimate that it is crucial to identify ongoing misunderstandings, contradictions and hazards because of the cumulative association of these factors liable to threaten an integrated strategy. A fourth section is giving a close eye to the recent dynamics of struggle against the traffic in the Lower Mekong Sub-region, with Cambodia as an epicenter. Main concerted actions and strategies are depicted, with a particular attention focusing on collaborative mechanisms that exist (or not) between national authorities, NGOs and international agencies.
