Myanmar Efforts to Control Illicit Drugs (1998-2015)
Tin Tin Aye
Since the assumption of the state power in 1988, Myanmar Government sought to
control opium cultivation and production and drug trafficking. Then, the
Government reestablished the Central Committee for Drug Abuse Control and
adopted objectives, strategies and tactics, promulgated the laws, rules and
regulations relating to the control on drug-related crimes. The Government reached
the peace agreements with the armed insurgent groups and attempted to develop
the border areas and socio-economic lives of national races. To accelerate the
border area development and to be effective in drug eradication measures, the
Government also implemented the Fifteen-Year Narcotics Elimination Plan. This
Plan has been extended a further five years and will conclude in 2019.
Nevertheless, drug eradication measures achieved success in some extent. Three
Opium Free Zones were emerged in Shan State. This research aims to analyze how
Myanmar attempted to control drug problems.
