Episode Synopsis

INTERPOL has reintegrated Syria into its information system and invited it to a summit on regional drug interdiction efforts. In this episode, Caroline Rose writes that giving the Syrian government – the chief player in the region’s captagon trade – access to information will allow it to carry out politically motivated arrest warrants and adapt to new counternarcotic efforts could undermine interdiction plans in the region.
