Diplomatic Relations between the Indonesian National Police and UNODC in Drug Eradication Efforts

Abstract

Narcotics trafficking and abuse are forms of non-traditional security threats that are increasingly  complex in the Southeast Asian region, especially Indonesia. Drugs not only have an impact on  legal and public health aspects, but also threaten social, economic, and national security  stability. This article examines the diplomatic relations between the Indonesian National Police  (POLRI) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in drug eradication efforts,  as well as their contribution to national and regional security resilience. This study uses a  qualitative method with a literature study approach to examine the dimensions of cooperation,  the role of international actors, and forms of institutional support in handling narcotics crimes.  The results of the study show that the Police-UNODC partnership includes strengthening  institutional capacity, technical training, intelligence exchange, and integrating human rights  principles in narcotics policy. This cooperation not only impacts the effectiveness of law  enforcement, but also strengthens Indonesia's diplomatic position in global security  governance. Therefore, the relationship between the National Police and UNODC is a relevant  model of transnational cooperation in dealing with non-traditional threats based on cross border organized crime.
