**BACKGROUND OF THE TOPIC:**
====Drug trafficking is known as the commercial exchange of illegal drugs, including their equipment and products involved in producing, manufacturing and using the drugs. Trading of drugs has been long use since the creating of the substance itself. However, trading was legal until the prohibition of drugs. Although there are drugs that are legal to posses and sell, there are certain drugs that violate jurisdiction to trade.====

====Drug trafficking operates mainly in underground markets that supply substances along various links of cartel chains. These chains are organized into hierarchies. They range from the most basic street dealer to the multinational empires that rival governments in size. Illegal drug trade isn't the only problem that is involved. Drug cultivation is also a culprit to this issue, because it is has the most simplest methods to provide drug dealers with drugs.====

====The United Nations has taken many plans into the coordination and regulation of illegal drugs. In order to organize UN drug control activities and to serve as the vital point for the UN Decade against Drug Abuse, the UN International Drug Control Programme (UNDCP) was taken into order. This is part of a more broad organization called the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. The UNDCP helps by asking states to become a part and provide insight to the United Nations drug control conventions. In early 1993, delegates adopted a resolution that called all governments to give first look at the prevention of drug abuse and to treat the drug abusers.====

====In 1998 the General Assembly developed a political declaration on the global drug problem which quoted, "Drugs destroy lives and communities, undermine sustainable human development and generate crime. Drugs affect all sectors of society in all countries; in particular, drug abuse affects the freedom and development of young people, the world's most valuable asset." What the U.N. believed was that drug trafficking alone was not the culprit to the fight against illicit drugs but also the production and abuse.====

====The country of Barbados strongly believes that drug trafficking represents one of the greatest threats to the economic and social establishment of the States and requires the furthermost vigilance and counter attack. In the end of May in 2000, Barbados held a meeting to review the Barbados Plan of Action, which was developed in by the Caribbean Governments in 1996 also known as the Plan of Action on Drug Control Coordination in the Caribbean.====

====The problem started when drugs were prohibited in which case Barbados strongly believes other countries to take into consideration the legalization of drugs. With this legalization, a strong coordination group would be in the picture in order to regulate whats where. This force group would be called R.O.C.S., Regulation of Controlled Substances. This plan might not stop the issue on drug trafficking but it is a vital step that must be taken in order for this problem to be solved.====
