Overall Mission:

The mission of the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is to minimize the impact of international crime and illegal drugs on the United States, its citizens, and partner nations by providing effective foreign assistance and fostering global cooperation. This mission supports peace and security by stabilizing and strengthening security institutions to build a global security capacity and by combating narco-trafficking and other transnational crimes. It promotes strengthening justice sector institutions, good governance, and respect for human rights.

INL supports this mission by collaborating with other USG, U.S. state and local agencies, and international agencies, by taking a regional approach, and by helping strengthen governments to take responsibility as equal partners in this struggle to disrupt organized crime and other destabilizing groups. The Bureau’s priority programs support three inter-related objectives:

· BUILDING CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS: Institutionalize the rule of law by developing and expanding criminal justice systems to strengthen partner country law enforcement, corrections, and judicial effectiveness, foster cooperation in legal affairs, and advance respect for human rights.

· COUNTER-NARCOTICS: Disrupt the overseas production and trafficking of illicit drugs through targeted counter-narcotics and institution-building assistance and coordination with foreign nations and international organizations.

· TRANSNATIONAL CRIME: Minimize the impact of transnational crime and criminal networks on the U.S. and its allies through enhanced international cooperation and foreign assistance.
