Despite the fact that the Asia Pacific region criminal legislation regularly implements the reforms aimed at socio-economic and political development of the country, drug-related crimes are still at a high level that's needs to be lowered quitea bit, and the number of these crimes continues to grow and it poses a very serious threat not only to APR but also to other countries of the whole world.
