The paper deals with the problem of countering the illicit drug trafficking, psychotropic substances, their precursors and analogues in the Eurasian Economic Union countries. The authors, basing on the statistical data analysis, demonstrated an increase in the number of drug addicts; it is shown that drug addiction is a global problem nowadays. The constant   increase of registered criminal acts related to drugs and their cross-border nature make it necessary to develop cooperation in combating the illicit distribution of drugs, harmonizing and unifying legal norms in this area, especially within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union. A comparative legal analysis of the criminal law governing liability for drug trafficking in the EAEU countries shows the diversity of legislative structures in the key elements of the crimes under consideration. The issues of personal non-medical use liability, the subject of crimes, the criminalization of individual acts related to drug trafficking, should be the subject of discussion on developing a unified approach of criminal law to counter the analyzed crimes in the EAEU countries.

Преступность, связанная с незаконным оборотом наркотических средств и психотропных веществ, традиционно занимает достаточно большую долю в общей структуре как национальной, так и международной преступности. Несмотря на принимаемые совместными усилиями правоохранителей разных стран меры, ежегодный наркотрафик демонстрирует стабильную динамику роста. В последние годы размах торговли наркотиками в мире достиг невообразимых масштабов - более 560 млрд долларов в год, что причиняет огромный ущерб экономике стран с высоким уровнем заболевания наркоманией. Государство вынуждено тратить огромные средства на сдерживание наркотизации, что также отнимает силы и ресурсы. Криминологические исследования наркопреступности показывают рост всех показателей, ее характеризующих, как в мире в целом, так и в отдельных странах. Более того, наркотизация общества влечет за собой целый ряд крайне негативных социальных явлений: распространение ВИЧ-инфекции, резкое снижение уровня здоровья населения, моральную деградацию и падение нравственности в обществе и многие другие. Среди наиболее опасных проявлений и тенденций развития современной наркопреступности можно выделить следующие: повсеместное внедрение информационных технологий в нашу жизнь вооружило торговцев наркотиками новыми способами «удаленного» сбыта, а также практически безграничными возможностями по рекламе и продвижению своего преступного «товара»; во-вторых, нельзя не заметить ориентированность наркобизнеса на максимально широкое вовлечение молодежи в наркопотребление. В статье автор проводит анализ конкретных исторических этапов развития уголовного законодательства в части борьбы с незаконным оборотом наркотиков. Crime related to illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances traditionally occupies a fairly large share in the overall structure of both national and international crime. Despite the measures taken by the joint efforts of law enforcement agencies of different countries, the annual drug trafficking shows a stable growth dynamics. In recent years, the scale of drug trafficking in the world has reached unimaginable proportions - more than 560 billion dollars a year-which causes huge damage to the economies of countries with a high level of drug addiction. The State is forced to spend huge amounts of money to curb drug addiction, which also takes away forces and resources. Criminological studies of drug crime show an increase in all indicators that characterize it, both in the world as a whole and in individual countries. Moreover, the narcosis of society entails a number of extremely negative social phenomena: the spread of HIV infection, a sharp decline in the level of public health, moral degradation and a decline in morality in society, and many others. Among the most dangerous manifestations and trends in the development of modern drug crime, the following can be distinguished: the widespread introduction of information technologies into our lives has armed drug traffickers with new ways of «remote» sales, as well as almost limitless opportunities for advertising and promoting their criminal «goods»; secondly, it is impossible not to notice the orientation of the drug business to the widest possible involvement of young people in drug use. In the article, the author analyzes specific historical stages of the development of criminal legislation in the fight against drug trafficking.

<p>The main objective of Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) is economic development in its region but directly unproductive profit seeking activities such as drug trafficking is the prominent barrier to reach this goal. All members spend lots of money to fight against drug trafficking, as all of them suffer from drug addiction and drug related problems. The first step to cope with this problem is to identify the factors and incentives that make this region vulnerable for drug trafficking activities and to unearth what makes this region a haven for drug traffickers. A bulk of literature supports the concept that organized criminal organizations are not able to operate when there are not any forms of corruption since they are strongly interrelated. In this paper, we analyze the link between drug trafficking and corruption in ECO region in order to develop ECO strategies to hamper and interrupt these transnational crimes. Corruption has posed major challenges to the efforts taken to control drug and also has seriously damaged the ECO members’ image in international community. One of the practical solutions is the responsibility of ECO organization in implementing rule of law in the region. Undoubtedly, fighting against corruption in ECO region is a joint responsibility of international and intercontinental community and this responsibility requires collective action and cooperation among countries in the region.</p>

General national average drug crime rates on which the contemporary criminological theory and practice is based do not adequately reflect regional peculiarities in the field of illicit drug trafficking as they level high quality/quantity parameters in some areas and their lower values in others. Still, consideration of only national totals in organization of crime counteraction leads to incomplete information, neglecting its negative trends in certain areas, thus, causing aberration of the actual drug crime situation and using improper countermeasures. Under such circumstances the state law enforcement agencies do not operate preemptively against the illicit drug trafficking, do not contain in due time outbreaks of drug crime in certain areas- crime donors, and, as a result, the efficiency of steps aimed at drug addiction prevention as well as crime limitation in total becomes substantively deteriorated. Criminological mapping method enables the territorial police divisions to monitor existing criminological situation, inform the public and other law enforcement agencies on trends and locations of drug crime expansion, and reveal the most affected areas to be able to react promptly to crime pattern changes in regions. The application of this method enabled the evident demonstration of the fact that in Ukraine the Eastern and Southern areas were most affected by drug crime, wherein the affection factor in this part is twice higher than general national value.

The article is devoted to the analysis and generalization of the results of research on the state of combating drug crimes in Ukraine. The causes and conditions of drug addiction in terms of social phenomena in modern society are analyzed. Statistics on the commitment of crimes of drug trafficking are provided. Regarding some ways about improvement the fight against drug crimes are proposed. 23,163 cases of law violations in the field of drug trafficking and circulation of narcotic drugs were recorded in Ukraine during 2019. Among the general crime structure in Ukraine, drug trafficking crimes consistently take second place after crimes against property and has 12-14 % in total. This situation absolutely facilitates by the presence of organized crime in the country. Every year around 400 criminal groups and crime organizations are revealed, most of which are related to the illegal drug business. This fact indicates the group’s interest in the existence of such phenomena as drug addic-tion, to earn huge amount of money. Current situation is due of presence of an extensive network of drug trafficking both abroad and in the country. The reason of that is the fast development of excess profits (annual turnover of drug dollars in the world is over 500 billion US dollars, for Ukraine this number is about 1 billion US dollars). The public danger of drug trafficking is that it causes drug addiction of a huge part of the population of Ukraine, provokes the penetration of drug subculture on potential drug users, penetrates into educational institutions, the environment of gambling and entertainment business, it is related with general crime, contributes to HIV and AIDS. Unfortunately, presented information indicates that drug addiction and related drug businesses are potential threat to the national security of our country. There are not so many years for our country to correct current state, and to take under control the situation with drug trafficking, psychotropic substances, precursors and their analogues.
