This policy brief examines the expansion of drug markets on the Dark Net or ‘hidden web’ and the challenges they pose for both law enforcement agencies and the international legal framework within which those agencies ultimately operate. The Dark Net drug markets are one manifestation of an increasingly complex, transnationalised and lucrative trade that the extant United Nations drug control system, and the treaties upon which it is based, is poorly positioned to address.
