Maritime Narcotrafficking
The Group of Experts on Maritime Narcotrafficking constitutes a forum for OAS member states to exchange information and expertise, while fostering regional cooperation in countering drug trafficking in the maritime domain. The Group provides a hemispheric perspective on maritime drug trafficking trends, multilateral interdiction operations, and prosecutorial challenges in drug maritime interdiction. As such, the Group has become an important source in the region when it comes to the publication of relevant materials, such as manuals, best practices on drug interdiction operations, guidelines, and protocols, with a focus on information sharing and inter-agency/cross-border cooperation.
