Viewing cable 06HANOI852, COUNTERNARCOTICS PROJECT PROPOSAL FROM UNODC

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #06HANOI852.

SUBJECT: COUNTERNARCOTICS PROJECT PROPOSAL FROM UNODC 
 
 
1. (SBU) Summary: Embassy Hanoi has received a three-year, 
USD 1.1 million project proposal from UNODC to improve the 
GVN's capacity to gather, use and share counternarcotics 
information and intelligence in order to build its capacity 
to interdict illegal drugs.  Additional benefits for GVN 
border security and anti-trafficking efforts are also 
possible.  We support this project.  End Summary. 
 
The Problem 
----------- 
 
2. (SBU) The biggest problem with regard to drug supply 
reduction is the inadequate and ineffective nature of border 
security enforcement; this is also a problem that increases 
Vietnam's vulnerability to terrorism and trafficking in 
persons, among other transnational threats.  According to 
UNODC statistics, over 98 per cent of drug trafficking is 
discovered inside the country, while only two per cent of 
seizures are made in border areas.  Consequently, the GVN 
wants to strengthen cooperation among relevant authorities 
operating in border areas, including counter-narcotics 
police, customs authorities and the border army. 
 
3. (SBU) Current GVN information collection and sharing 
procedures are inadequate and need to be restructured. 
Vietnam's effectiveness in drug law enforcement is hampered 
by disorganized and ineffective current processes.  Without 
a system to ensure the rapid flow of information between 
provinces, agencies and international partners, the 
effectiveness of any initiative, including other USG-funded 
assistance, is severely hampered. 
 
4. (SBU) Information sharing and collection is a sensitive 
topic, and we have limited concrete knowledge of the current 
information systems, procedures and practices of Vietnamese 
law enforcement agencies.  We have, however, often observed 
a lack of clear and defined tactical and strategic planning 
and processes and extremely limited information sharing 
within and among law enforcement and border security 
agencies. 
 
5. (SBU) Lack of equipment for sharing information among 
offices and with other agencies is also impeding the GVN's 
capacity to interdict and dismantle trafficking networks. 
 
UNODC's Solution 
---------------- 
 
UNODC proposes to provide training and equipment, including 
hardware and populated database software, to achieve: 
 
-- Improved cooperation between the project sites through 
information sharing and joint operations; 
 
-- Enhanced capacity to manage investigations and analyze 
drug law enforcement information; 
 
-- A comprehensive ongoing computer-based drug law 
enforcement training program in place that will 
significantly raise the level, knowledge and expertise 
within the drug law enforcement community; 
 
-- Fully trained and functioning Target Development Teams 
who are able to effectively collate and analyze information 
relating to drug law enforcement in a timely manner and 
develop information into an operational investigation that 
can be passed onto the operational teams in the provinces 
for resolution; 
 
-- A fully functioning information and document management 
system which enables the Police, Customs and the Border Army 
to collect, collate, analyze and disseminate information, 
allowing them to sustain an increasing tempo of information 
collection. 
 
Why We Should Support This Project 
---------------------------------- 
 
6. (SBU) USG strategy for combating drugs in Vietnam has two 
main pillars:  building the basic capacity of Vietnamese law 
enforcement, and encouraging greater Vietnamese cooperation 
with the United States and other international partners on 
counternarcotics and transnational crime.  This project 
addresses the first part of our strategy directly, and the 
second part indirectly.  At the moment, the GVN does not 
share even the limited sensitive law enforcement data it has 
with the United States.  However, the involvement of the UN 
and the UN's international experts in building capacity in 
intelligence and information sharing will, we believe, 
accustom the GVN to greater international participation and 
involvement in law enforcement, particularly in intel and

information sharing. 
 
7. (SBU) UNODC is particularly well-suited to implement this 
project.  UNODC's international staff is experienced and 
very well-connected in the Vietnamese law enforcement 
community, and the Vietnamese staff includes active duty 
Ministry of Public Security Officers who have ongoing and 
excellent access to decisionmakers in MPS.  The current USG- 
funded G-55 counterdrug project (this is the project that 
creates anti-drug interagency task forces in six key 
"hotspot" provinces) is the natural starting place for this 
project, and existing investment in G-55 can be leveraged to 
give this project a substantial running start. 
 
8. (SBU) In addition to the direct benefit to our 
counterdrug efforts in Vietnam, we see additional 
Counterterrorism and anti-TIP advantages to this project. 
Enhancing information and intelligence collection and 
sharing within and among GVN law enforcement agencies will 
create substantial improvements in Vietnam's border security 
efforts, which at the moment are weak at best. 
 
9. (U) We will pass the UNODC proposal to INL/AAE and 
EAP/MLS by email.
