Resumo
O narcotráfico é o comércio de substâncias consideradas ilícitas. A comercialização de drogas é um fenômeno que ocorre há séculos, porém, a partir da década de 1990 passa a ganhar destaque na agenda das Relações Internacionais. As mudanças políticas, tecnológicas e econômicas que o fim da Guerra Fria proporcionou vieram acompanhadas do aumento da criminalidade organizada transnacional e consequentemente do consumo e produção de drogas, e assim passa a ser entendido como uma ameaça global. A “Guerra às drogas” produzida pelos Estados Unidos foi incorporada pela ONU, desenvolvendo diversos tratados e convenções pautadas no proibicionismo que foram universalizadas, moldando a política de drogas dos países latino americanos como o Brasil. O Brasil detém um vasto território, faz fronteira com mais da metade dos países da América do Sul, sendo alguns deles grandes produtores de entorpecentes ilícitos, o que facilita a entrada das drogas e a atividade de organizações criminosas no território brasileiro. Nesse contexto uma série de aparatos legislativos e institucionais foram fortalecidos e instituídos como objetivo de combater esse problema, porém na prática não se vê melhora. O objetivo deste artigo é compreender os motivos da ineficácia do Estado brasileiro no combate ao narcotráfico, apontando políticas, práticas e tratados que vêm sendo adotados para conter esta atividade ilícita a qual traz consequências sociais, econômicas, políticas e entre outras que serão citadas durante o trabalho.
Narcotraffic is the trade of substances that are considered illegal. The commercialization of drugs is a phenomenon that has occurred for centuries, but since the 1990s it has gained prominence on the agenda of International Relations. The political, technological and economic changes that coincided with the end of the Cold War were accompanied by an increase in transnational organized crime and, consequently, the consumption and production of drugs. The drug industry came to be understood as a global threat. The “War on drugs” led by the United States was also adopted by the UN, developing several treaties and conventions based on prohibitionism that were universalized. This shaped the drug policy of Latin American countries, including Brazil. Brazil has a vast territory, bordering more than half of the countries in South America, some of which are large producers of illicit narcotics. This unique geography perpetuates the entry of drugs and the criminal activity in Brazilian territory. In response, a series of legislative and institutional policies were created or strengthened, but there has been no major improvement. This article aims at understanding the reasons for the ineffectiveness of the Brazilian State in the fight against drug trafficking. It points out policies, practices and treaties that have been adopted to contain this illicit activity and explains the social, economic, political and other consequences that resulted.
