SAMSEC 2014
The summit provides a forum to discuss measures to combat Transnational Organized Crime and associated problems of porous borders. Counter-Narcotic operations are a shared security concern across South America as drug trafficking serves as the predominant means by which Transnational Criminal Organisations obtain money and increase power in the region. The subject, as a unifying security concern lends itself to becoming the foundation for wider defense and security cooperation throughout the region.
