Zusammenfassung:	This essay surveys the status of coca in the United Nations Conventions, explains why it is confusing, how a few changes would eliminate some of the sources of conflict & help organize & control licit coca markets in the Andes. The current disorganized & weakly controlled legal coca market in Peru has been analyzed to demonstrate its deficiencies & to illustrate possible improvements in international drug control policies. 7 References.
