The war on drugs in Mexico and Colombia has been going on for decades and will continue to do so if we do not change our course of action. Colombia was notoriously and continues to be a major drug producer, exporting a significant percentage of its drugs to the United States and neighboring Latin America. Analysts predict that Mexico will soon become the next Colombia of the 1960-1990 period and that it has the potential to surpass Colombia in terms of drug production, sale and distribution, both domestically and internationally. There have been many strategies to stop and stop the production and flow of drugs, but it appears that they are ineffective and incapable of solving this problem. Some governments have sought to strengthen legislative measures and implement draconian measures to strengthen and increase penalties if a person is caught in possession of even the smallest dose of drugs or is in any way linked to the pharmaceutical industry. We now find ourselves at a crucial moment where we must take action. take a step back and look at the bigger picture. The question is whether the situations in Colombia and Mexico have progressed with the diminishing impact of drugs or perhaps, on the contrary, the war on drugs and its effects on the respective countries are worsening significantly. exponential. Next, we will have to develop a series of measures that will guarantee the gradual decline of drugs and their effects in Colombia and Mexico. The reality is that the war on drugs has taken a toll on the people of Colombia and Mexico, but that does not mean that they are the only two countries suffering greatly from this terrible and precarious situation. Where a multi-million dollar illegitimate trade is discovered, there will surely be some sort of resistance and an armed group willing to protect the lucrative coca trade. Following failed peace talks, violence between the FARC, the army, and the paramilitaries intensified in the 1990s. In 1978, the Statue of Security was adopted by President Turbay in response to the The increase in guerrilla activities of various guerrillas and armed forces, including the April 19 Movement (M-19) and the FARC. This status gave the military a more open and broader form of power with regard to the guerrillas. He gained more powers to fight, arrest and interrogate guerrillas across the country. There was condemnation and outcry from human rights organizations and other countries, arguing that many people's rights were being violated, including an increase in the number of unjustified arrests and cruel forms of torture. However, this status does not constitute a failure in terms of the fight against counter-insurgency groups.
