報告顯示 毒品的消費和生產量在全球範圍內大幅增長

Illegal heroin and fentanyl exports from Mexico to the United States are on the rise, according to World Drug Report 2017 compiled by the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) and backed by the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).

根據國際麻醉品控制委員會和聯合國毒品和犯罪辦公室編制和資助的2017年世界毒品報告顯示，從墨西哥到美國的非法海洛因和芬太尼的出口量正在上升。

Speaking in Mexico City, as the report, which tracks narcotics consumption and production throughout the world, was released last Thursday, INCB President Raul Martin del Campo noted the significant increase of drug use around the world, highlighting the harvest and trafficking of illicit drugs in and from South America.

在上週四於墨西哥城發表的跟蹤世界各地毒品消費和生產情況的這篇報告中，國際麻醉藥管制委員會主席勞爾·馬丁·德爾坎波指出，世界範圍內毒品的使用量顯著增加，並着重強調了在南美洲和來自南美洲的非法毒品繳獲量和走私量。

"Poppy harvest that you see in so many countries throughout South America, as you do in Mexico, en route to the United States has increased by a significant amount as registered in the report," he said.

他說道：“你在南美洲許多國家看到的罌粟種植收穫情況就像你在墨西哥看到的那樣，以及根據報告中提到的運往美國毒品數量也顯著增加。”

"Fentanyl precursors have also been detected as entering the country, and that is having a consequence with respect to the composition of these drugs that are being exported illegally."

“含有芬太尼的物質也被檢測出進入美國，這對這些非法出口的毒品的構成結構有一定的影響。”

Seizures of fentanyl, a significant contributor to the epidemic of overdose deaths, by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection increased from less than 1 kilogram in 2013 to about 200 kilograms in 2016, the INCB said.

國際麻醉藥管制委員會稱，由美國海關和邊境保護局對芬太尼（一種因過量使用而導致死亡人數增加的罪魁禍首的藥品）的繳獲量大幅增加，從2013年的不到1公斤增加到2016年的約200公斤。

Three-quarters of the cocaine consumed in Mexico comes from Mexico and Central America, the report noted.

報告指出，在墨西哥消費的可卡因中，有四分之三來自墨西哥和中美洲。

Mexico is under increasing pressure to combat drug trafficking after more than 25,000 homicides were recorded last year across the country as rival drug gangs increasingly splintered into smaller, more violent groups.

墨西哥在與毒品走私鬥爭方面的壓力與日俱增。去年墨西哥境內記錄了25000多起殺人事件，因爲敵對的販毒團伙越來越多地分裂成更小、更暴力的組織。
