Latin America and Caribbean unite to launch Alliance for Security, Justice, and Development

Eighteen countries from Latin America and the Caribbean have launched the Alliance for Security, Justice, and Development, an unprecedented alliance that unites governments, multilateral organisations, and civil society to address organised crime.

The Alliance was launched at the Regional Security and Justice Summit yesterday.

It is being promoted by the Inter-American Development Bank and will operate on three pillars, namely protecting vulnerable populations, strengthening security and justice institutions, and reducing illicit markets and financial flows.
