The first two concern movement between the countries of the region, one for general labour and one for sexual exploitation.

Drug trafficking: The production and use of opiates has a long history in the region, but the main opiate problem in the 21st century involves the more refined form of the drug: heroin. In addition, methamphetamine has been a threat in parts of East Asia for decades (in the form of yaba tablets), but crystal methamphetamine has recently grown greatly in popularity. Virtually every country in the region has some crystal methamphetamine users, and some populations consume at very high levels.Resources: Resource-related crimes include those related to both extractive industries, such as the illegal harvesting of wildlife and timber, and other crimes that have a negative impact on the environment, such as the dumping of e-waste and the trade in ozone-depleting substances. In all cases, the threat goes beyond borders, jeopardizing the global environmental heritage. These are therefore crimes of inherent international significance, though they are frequently dealt with lightly under local legislation.Counterfeit goods: The trade in counterfeit goods is often perceived as a "soft" form of crime, but can have dangerous consequences for public health and safety. Fraudulent medicines in particular pose a threat to public health, and their use can foster the growth of treatment resistant pathogens | |

Description based on print version record Introduction : fighting transnational organized crime -- Smuggling of migrants and labour trafficking within the Greater Mekong Sub-Region -- Trafficking of women and girls for sexual exploitation within the Greater Mekong Sub-Region -- Migrant smuggling from East and Southeast Asia to the United States and the European Union -- Migrant smuggling from South and West Asia through Southeast Asia to Australia and Canada -- Trafficking of opiates from Myanmar and Afghanistan into East Asia and the Pacific -- Trafficking of methamphetamines from Myanmar and China to the region -- The illegal wildlife trade in East Asia and the Pacific -- Illicit trade in wood-based products from the region to the world -- Illicit trade in electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) from the world to the region -- Illicit trade in ozone-depleting substances (ODS) from East Asia to the world -- Counterfeit consumer goods from East Asia to the United States and the European Union -- Fraudulent essential medicines from East Asia to Southeast Asia and Africa -- Key issues and implications for response Human trafficking and smuggling of migrants: Four of the 12 illicit flows reviewed in this report involve human beings. The first two concern movement between the countries of the region, one for general labour and one for sexual exploitation. The third concerns the smuggling of migrants from the region to the rich countries of the West, and the last focuses on migrants smuggled through the region from the poor and conflicted countries of South and Southwest Asia. Drug trafficking: The production and use of opiates has a long history in the region, but the main opiate problem in the 21st century involves the more refined form of the drug: heroin. In addition, methamphetamine has been a threat in parts of East Asia for decades (in the form of yaba tablets), but crystal methamphetamine has recently grown greatly in popularity. Virtually every country in the region has some crystal methamphetamine users, and some populations consume at very high levels.Resources: Resource-related crimes include those related to both extractive industries, such as the illegal harvesting of wildlife and timber, and other crimes that have a negative impact on the environment, such as the dumping of e-waste and the trade in ozone-depleting substances. In all cases, the threat goes beyond borders, jeopardizing the global environmental heritage. These are therefore crimes of inherent international significance, though they are frequently dealt with lightly under local legislation.Counterfeit goods: The trade in counterfeit goods is often perceived as a "soft" form of crime, but can have dangerous consequences for public health and safety.

| spellingShingle | Transnational organized crime in East Asia and the Pacific a threat assessment Introduction : fighting transnational organized crime -- Smuggling of migrants and labour trafficking within the Greater Mekong Sub-Region -- Trafficking of women and girls for sexual exploitation within the Greater Mekong Sub-Region -- Migrant smuggling from East and Southeast Asia to the United States and the European Union -- Migrant smuggling from South and West Asia through Southeast Asia to Australia and Canada -- Trafficking of opiates from Myanmar and Afghanistan into East Asia and the Pacific -- Trafficking of methamphetamines from Myanmar and China to the region -- The illegal wildlife trade in East Asia and the Pacific -- Illicit trade in wood-based products from the region to the world -- Illicit trade in electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) from the world to the region -- Illicit trade in ozone-depleting substances (ODS) from East Asia to the world -- Counterfeit consumer goods from East Asia to the United States and the European Union -- Fraudulent essential medicines from East Asia to Southeast Asia and Africa -- Key issues and implications for response Human trafficking and smuggling of migrants: Four of the 12 illicit flows reviewed in this report involve human beings. The first two concern movement between the countries of the region, one for general labour and one for sexual exploitation. The third concerns the smuggling of migrants from the region to the rich countries of the West, and the last focuses on migrants smuggled through the region from the poor and conflicted countries of South and Southwest Asia. Drug trafficking: The production and use of opiates has a long history in the region, but the main opiate problem in the 21st century involves the more refined form of the drug: heroin. In addition, methamphetamine has been a threat in parts of East Asia for decades (in the form of yaba tablets), but crystal methamphetamine has recently grown greatly in popularity. Virtually every country in the region has some crystal methamphetamine users, and some populations consume at very high levels.Resources: Resource-related crimes include those related to both extractive industries, such as the illegal harvesting of wildlife and timber, and other crimes that have a negative impact on the environment, such as the dumping of e-waste and the trade in ozone-depleting substances. In all cases, the threat goes beyond borders, jeopardizing the global environmental heritage. These are therefore crimes of inherent international significance, though they are frequently dealt with lightly under local legislation.Counterfeit goods: The trade in counterfeit goods is often perceived as a "soft" form of crime, but can have dangerous consequences for public health and safety.
