JADE, a PAX sapiens initiative, is centered on creating international anti-narcotics cooperation.
JADE was initiated with the understanding that U.S.-China anti-narcotics cooperation is pivotal for building mutual understanding and strengthening US China motivation to work together. JADE addresses the core problem of insufficient understanding of the complex chemical supply chains originating in China, which are used to manufacture deadly synthetic drugs in Mexico and are fueling the synthetic drug crisis in the U.S. and Canada. JADE works to align efforts where political sensitivities or intelligence gaps might otherwise stall progress. Its goal is to support law enforcement and regulatory actions through smarter, coordinated strategies and encourages the development of robust multilateral mechanisms to disrupt synthetic drug production and save lives
JADE provides a trusted, neutral forum for advancing collective action moving beyond blame towards pragmatic, win-win solutions in the fight against synthetic drugs.
How JADE Helps Create Anti-Narcotics Cooperation
- Engage with diverse stakeholders on synthetic opioid related issues in China, the US, Canada and Mexico.
- Research and document insights providing a nuanced understanding of the challenges faced within China regarding the regulation of chemicals used in the production of synthetic opioids.
- Assess and examine the enforcement and regulatory entities responsible for controlling the export of precursor chemicals from China, to identify gaps in regulatory authority or enforcement capacity.
- Provide for the direct exchange of best practices for industry based self-regulation to mitigate illegal fentanyl and precursor chemical diversion and smuggling.
- Share these findings with decision-makers in the US and China.
