ABSTRACT
This chapter examines that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has led its three member countries - Canada, Mexico and the United States - to harmonize their foreign policies on drug trafficking in the Americas? It discusses the origins and the workings of the international narcotics control regime and of its inter-American counterpart. The arbitrary nature of the certification process, illustrated perfectly by the Mexican case, explains why Latin American countries have been considering, since the end of the 1980s, the establishment of a multilateral evaluation procedure. Notwithstanding Canada's inadequate control of illicit diversion of precursor chemicals, the author commends Canadian law enforcement agencies, which continue to work energetically to support our joint law enforcement efforts. Rodney Moore, confirm a contrario the existence of this game of veiled allusions and warnings: "The question of cross-border trafficking of marijuana and pseudoephedrine the author has not been raised in any of the recent meetings between Canadian ministers and their American counterparts".
