  1. “We believe that the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and their subsidiary bodies are the appropriate forum for in- depth consideration of the subject.”

  2. “In that context, Latin America and Africa committed themselves to encouraging bilateral and regional initiatives activities, as indicated by the Permanent Representative of Venezuela, always on the basis of the principles of common and shared responsibility, which entails an integrated and balanced focus, respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States, non-intervention in internal affairs and respect for human rights, as established in the Charter of the United Nations. This joint effort, this national effort and this subregional effort will make it possible to pool the concerted efforts of the entire international community to make ever greater strides towards achieving the results we all hope for in the fight against this scourge, especially in West Africa.”

  3. “At the second South America-Africa Summit, held on Margarita Island in September, there was explicit recognition of the adverse affects of all aspects of the world drug problem, including illegal trafficking in drugs and psychotropic substances and connected crimes, on security, peace, governance, economic development and public health for our peoples. This poses a severe challenge to social institutions and policies and contribute to environmental degradation, produce poverty and weaken efforts at social integration.”

  4. “A draft resolution on international cooperation against the world drug problem (A/C.3/64/L.15/Rev.1) was recently adopted by consensus in the Third Committee and will in turn be adopted by the General Assembly. The draft resolution reflects the view that due account should be taken of the traditional licit uses of crops where there is historical evidence of such use. Coca leaf chewing is an age-old ancestral practice of the indigenous peoples of the Andes and the Amazon of South America and it is part of our history and cultural identity.”

  5. “The maximum potential cocaine production in Bolivia is equivalent to 13 per cent of potential cocaine production worldwide. We should clarify that that figure will decrease even further once the comprehensive coca leaf study is concluded. That study will calculate the quantity of leaves used for traditional consumption, subtracting it from the maximum potential cocaine production in Bolivia. With regard to traditional consumption, in March 2009 President Morales Ayma presented a draft amendment to article 49 of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961 to decriminalize coca leaf chewing, which had been prohibited in that Convention because of unscientific cultural prejudices.”

  6. “Similarly, there was a significant increase in 2008 in the seizure of chemical substances, as well as in the destruction of recycling laboratories and facilities for crystallizing the drug. The Plurinational State of Bolivia has, for the first time, earmarked $20 million of its own resources to combat drug trafficking. In the framework of our regional and multilateral strategy to combat drug trafficking, the Union of South American Nations has worked towards the creation of a South American council to combat drug trafficking. We have signed bilateral agreements and undertaken joint interdiction efforts with Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. I should also note that, according to the World Drug Report 2008 published by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, coca leaf crops in Bolivia account for only 18 per cent of world coca leaf.”

  7. “In addition, the number of laboratories that have been dismantled continues to increase. Operations against drug trafficking have increased by 58 per cent as compared to 2005 - from 6,831 in that year to 10,795 in 2008. The effectiveness of those interventions made it possible to increase seizures of cocaine and related substances by 252 per cent. In 2005, we seized almost 11.4 tons, a figure that rose to 28.8 tons of cocaine and related products in 2008. In 2009, as part of reducing excessive coca-leaf production, we eradicated production on 6,272 hectares - a substantial record in the past five years. That serves to amply confirm the commitment of President Morales in the fight against drugs.”

  8. “In that regard, it is important to point out that the Nineteenth Summit of Heads of National Drug Law Enforcement Agencies - HONLEA - of Latin American and the Caribbean, which took place in Venezuela from 28 September to 2 October, commended Bolivia for its efforts to combat drug trafficking and eradicate illegal excessive crops of coca leaf. In addition, the presentation of the UNODC report on the monitoring of coca cultivation in the Plurinational State of Bolivia recorded that the Government of Bolivia deserves to be commended for the significant increase in drug interdiction. There has been a 45 per cent increase in the quantity of cocaine based seized, from 14,912 kilograms to 21,641 kilograms, and a 145 per cent increase in the quantity of cocaine hydrochloride seized.”

  9. “Mr. Loayza Barea (Plurinational State of Bolivia) (spoke in Spanish): Allow me first to express our great pleasure at seeing you, Sir, presiding over the Security Council. We are absolutely certain that under your guidance, Burkina Faso and, consequently, the Council will have a meaningful month of activity. Bolivia would like to associate itself with the statement delivered by the representative of Egypt on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. We would also like to acknowledge the briefing given by the representative of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). The Plurinational State of Bolivia is resolutely committed to combating the world drug problem, drug trafficking and organized crime.”
