1. Purpose
To share information about international drug trafficking organizations and their illicit trafficking activities and to establish the mechanism for regional cooperation to tackle drug crimes.
2. Background
Since April 1989, the Supreme Prosecutors' Office has organized quarterly meetings of drug-related officials of several embassies in Seoul with the purpose of strengthening international cooperation and facilitating exchange of information on international drug crimes.
The first Director of Narcotics Division Supreme Public Prosecutors' Office shaped and forwarded the idea of this Meeting, entitled ADLOMICO, a beautiful name which stands for Anti-Drug Liaison Officials' Meeting for International Cooperaion.
In observance of International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking (June 26), the June ADLOMICO meeting was extended for 3 days to include not only members of the ADLOMICO in Seoul but also executive drug enforcement officials from their own respective countries as well as working-level senior officials of the agencies concerned in Korea and some experts at international organizations such as UNDCP and ICPO.
The extended ADLOMICO meeting, first held in Cheju in June, 1990, has been held in a variety of beautiful places in Korea such as Gyeongju, Sokcho, Busan, Jeju and Seoul.
ADLOMICO has developed into an Anti-Drug international conference worthy of the name, as to bring together 180 drug related senior officials from 22 countries and 4 international organizations at the 19th ADLOMICO, held in Busan in 2009, compared with the first meeting with only 25 participants from 5 countries.
The ADLOMICO has been excellent forum for sub-regional cooperation, in areas such as exchange of information on new trends of drug crimes and mutual legal assistance among the member countries.
ADLOMICO has been highly praised for a model sub-regional cooperation mechanism by the United Nations. And Executive Director of the UNDCP has sent his encouraging message for the participants of ADLOMICO each year.
