Burma Urged to Implement Anti-Money Laundering Law Without Delay - 2003-02-26


The new United Nations report on illegal drugs says opium production in Burma has been halved since 1996.

(In a report released Wednesday) The United Nations says eradication efforts in Burma to prevent the cultivation of illicit poppies must continue in the opium-rich region known as "the Golden Triangle" next to Thailand, Laos and China.

The report says Burma is now the second largest producer of opium, because cultivation has resumed at a high level in Afghanistan.

The Austria-based International Narcotics Control Board is also urging Burma's government to implement without delay a new anti-money laundering law.

The law was enacted in June to give authorities wide-ranging powers to pursue criminals laundering money from the narcotics trade. Burma's military government denies charges it is bankrolled by the drug trade.
