Cooperation against illicit trade in Latin America. The case of AMERIPOL
A Talk by Manelich Castilla Craviotto , Claudette Vernot , Marcos Alvar , Magdalena Alcocer-Vega and Brig. Gen Juan Carlos Buitrago Arias
About this Talk
"Cooperation between enforcement authorities, as well as public-private partnerships, are more critical than ever to tackle global illicit trade. AMERIPOL, the hemispheric mechanism of police cooperation, leads multiple efforts against illicit trade in Latin America. This initiative will be used to set up a conversation about enforcement cooperation and public-private partnerships at a regional level. What has been achieved? What is lacking? What we should do next? These questions will guide the speakers into a proactive discussion about lessons learned. The diversity of speakers’ backgrounds – police forces, academia, and the private sector - will enrich the session with complementary perspectives."
