Question 1
Statement: Drug trafficking has increased significantly in the border areas, with large quantities being smuggled into the country.
Course of Action:
I. Border surveillance should be strengthened with modern technology and increased personnel.
II. Intelligence sharing with neighboring countries should be enhanced.
III. Rehabilitation centers for drug addicts should be established.
IIII. Complete border closure should be implemented to stop all movement.
Action I enhances detection and interdiction capability. Action II addresses transnational nature of drug trafficking. Action III tackles demand side by treating addiction. Action IV is economically devastating - complete border closure affects trade, travel, and livelihoods; smuggling continues through illegal channels anyway. Comprehensive Drug Strategy: Supply reduction (I, II) + Demand reduction (III) = Balanced approach. Proportionality: I, II, III are targeted measures; IV causes massive collateral damage without guaranteed effectiveness.
