Latin American nations strengthen security and anti-crime measures
Several Latin American nations are implementing new measures to combat organized crime and terrorism. In Mexico, the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena) and the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC) have signed a collaboration agreement. This pact formalizes the interconnection of the National Guard's systems with the Central Intelligence Platform operated by the National Intelligence Center (CNI), enabling real-time data exchange and technological standardization to identify criminal structures.
In Peru, the government has established a high-level multisectoral commission to restore security and public order. Operating from the Army General Headquarters, the commission aims to overcome regulatory, budgetary, and management obstacles that hinder the fight against crime through unified command between the Armed Forces and the National Police.
In Colombia, the Council for Criminal Policy has cleared the way for an anti-terrorism statute to be presented to Congress. The proposed legislation includes the creation of a registry for terrorist organizations, the freezing of assets, and new criminal sanctions targeting the financing of illegal groups, including those linked to drug trafficking and illegal mining.
