"The Caribbean region is a major transit area for illicit drugs, primarily cocaine. These drugs are produced in South America, destined for markets worldwide. Small Caribbean jurisdictions are extremely vulnerable to the influence of drug trafficking at the political, economic, and social levels. International drug trafficking has contributed to drug abuse, and has increased crime and violence at the local level."
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime
As Small Island Developing States we are faced with the debilitating effects of drugs and illicit trafficking within our societies and today we reaffirm our commitment to the drug use prevention fight and urge you to continue playing your part.
