title: The United States drug problem and international trafficking. Part II. Denial of safe-havens to illicit drug traffickers.
abstract: Excessive reliance on extradition as a means of acquiring prosecutional control over illicit drug traffickers is short-sighted. Informal arrangements, like expulsion, should be given more consideration. A method for developing a unified antitrafficker policy and for implementing that policy through existing diplomatic channels is demonstrated through the use of the safe-haven deprivation/deterrence model. This paper focuses on drug traffickers. Trafficking is a function of the availability of both suppliers and consumers. Other available forms of cooperation within the United States government to induce foreign states to assure that opium crops are either destroyed or controlled within licit user channels should not be overlooked.
