In a 2001 study entitled Global Illicit Drug Trends conducted by the United Nations Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention (ODCCP), it was estimated that 14 million people used cocaine worldwide. Though cocaine use has leveled off in the United States, it still leads the world in cocaine abuse. In 1999, cocaine use was stable in the United States, but increased in Western Europe and in several South American countries. Because of the addictive and destructive nature of cocaine, there is a concerted worldwide effort to reduce the production and illicit use of cocaine.

On February 29,1996, retired Army general Barry McCaffrey was sworn in as President Clinton s new director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, and was given the responsibility for overseeing counter-drug operations in Central and South American countries. Between 80 and 90% of the cocaine consumed in the United States at the time was either produced and/or distributed in Columbia, as well as some 60% of the heroin. His efforts have been only partly successful.
