Santiago Regional Commitment adopted by South American nations
Several South American nations have adopted the Santiago Regional Commitment against Transnational Organized Crime to combat integrated criminal structures. Originally signed on May 28, 2026, by Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru, the agreement was later joined by Paraguay and Uruguay.
The commitment aims to move beyond uncoordinated national responses by addressing the way criminal organizations exploit legislative differences, corruption, and regional logistics. It establishes a working group with a rotating annual leadership tasked with creating a Joint Action Plan.
The initiative focuses on four primary pillars: security, financial and tax intelligence, migratory traceability and control, and border oversight and inspection. The framework also emphasizes the need to strengthen institutional integrity and prevent corruption within national police forces.
