CARICOM Works to Prevent Trafficing in 6 November Meeting

Georgetown, Nov 6 (Prensa Latina)

Ministers of National Security and Law Enforcement of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) analyze today a regional plan to stop crime and other evils like drug and arms trafficking in the area.

Debates focus in finding ways, together with the rest of society, to revert the situation of those prone to commit crime.

• Guyana Prime Minister Samuel Hinds said it is not only a question of dominating and do away with criminals, but of trying to separate them from that way of life and to reinsert them into society.
• Attention to schools will be a topic brought to discussion, as the Ministers pretend to apply plans to separate youths from violent and criminal conducts, as well as to include universities to the work of agencies linked to the social sector.

The meeting also includes:

• The exchange of intelligence information,
• measures against drug trafficking,
• Illegal arms sales
• Updating information on kidnappings and deportations.

Jamaica and Haití are two Caribbean nations with highest indicators of violence and crimes related to illegal arms sales and drug trafficking.
