Advancing Justice Reform in Argentina

archived

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) leads the Department of State’s efforts to strengthen citizen security and combat drug trafficking and transnational crime. INL assistance programs help partner nations to build their capacities to extend the reach of justice under the rule of law, including respect for human rights and gender equality, and to deny safe haven to criminals who would otherwise operate with near impunity. The resources entrusted to us enable INL to deliver technical assistance and capacity to: enhance international drug control through interdiction and supply reduction; develop civilian law enforcement capacity, regional partnerships, and information sharing; and further the administration of justice and corrections under the rule of law with respect for human rights. This mission supports peace and security by stabilizing and strengthening security institutions and by combating narcotic-trafficking and other transnational crimes such as money laundering, criminal gangs, and wildlife trafficking. It promotes governing transparently and democratically by strengthening justice sector institutions, good governance, and respect for human rights and gender equality.
