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 --

520 3 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. Fraudulent
medicines in particular pose a threat to public health,
and their use can foster the growth of treatment resistant
pathogens.
