The market for “captagon”, an illicitly manufactured drug product mostly containing amphetamine, continues to grow in the Near and Middle East. In parallel, a methamphetamine market seems to be developing in the Near and Middle East, as shown by a rise in seizures of the drug. UNODC conducted an assessment of the drug trafficking situation in Iraq and the Middle East, based on statistical data compiled and shared by the governments concerned, as well as field research in Iraq, with the aim to provide the evidence base for national, regional, and international strategies to prevent and reduce drug production, trafficking, and consumption. The report on “Drug Trafficking Dynamics Across Iraq and the Middle East (2019–2023): Trends and Responses” (to be released soon) provides an understanding on the increasingly complex and dynamic drug trafficking landscape across the Near and Middle East region, and the efforts invested by Iraq and other countries in the region in confronting this threat.</p> <p>Full publication: <a href="/documents/data-and-analysis/Iraq/Iraq_regional_dynamics_report_2024.pdf">English</a>, <a href="/documents/data-and-analysis/Iraq/UN_Iraq_Report_Arabic_240814_WEB.pdf">Arabic</a></p> <p>Executive Summary: <a href="/documents/data-and-analysis/Iraq/exsum_research_Iraq_2024.pdf">English</a>, <a href="/documents/data-and-analysis/Iraq/exsum_research_Iraq_2024_Arabic.pdf">Arabic</a> - <a href="/documents/data-and-analysis/Iraq/methodology_research_Iraq_2024.pdf">Methodology</a> -</p> <p><span class="ui-provider a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak">Video clip produced by inhabitants in a "Substance abuse rehabilitation center" in Iraq - sharing their story and vision in being provided with another opportunity for life "yes for life no to drugs" </span>: <a href="/images/data-and-analysis/Iraq/Story_from_Iraq.mp4">Video </a>.</p></div> </div> </div><div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <h3 class="site-label ">World drug report</h3> </div> </div> </div><div class="container mx-auto mt-0"> <div class=" row"> <div class="col-lg-12"><p>The World Drug Report consists of two products, a web-based element and a set of booklets.
