Over the last three years, the activities of the CNPA, Commando 333 (Afghan Special Narcotics Force), border police and customs, have led to a huge increase in the seizures of illegal drugs across the country. Specialist counter narcotics forces operating under the Ministry of Interior have also destroyed dozens of drugs laboratories around the country. All these operations have consequently led to more arrests and investigations, which are then handled by the Criminal Justice Task Force.

The Criminal Justice Task Force (CJTF) was set up as an end to end, Afghan process to bring to justice those involved in serious narco-crime within Afghanistan. It was set up by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in May 2005 and has a mandate through the Counter Narcotics law to investigate and prosecute all serious drug-related offences from across the country. The CJTF was the first example of such a process in Afghanistan, and achieves its aims by co-locating secondees from the Supreme Court, the Office of the Attorney General, the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice in one secure location.
