Project: Research Project

Project Details

Description

This project aims to design a strategy to respond to corruption associated with transnational organized crime, based on international law and an adequate understanding of the dynamics of the maritime drug trafficking system in Colombia and the Americas, paying particular attention to the response offered for Colombia from comparative public law.
The project will first focus on tools of a non-criminal nature, and then address the possibilities offered by transnational criminal law and international criminal law. In particular, it will analyze whether the creation of a regional institution to promote coordination between national authorities and improve their cooperation in the provision of mutual legal assistance and the execution of extradition requests,
would strengthen the effectiveness of the measures that comparative public law advises to adopt in Colombian domestic law. It will also be studied whether such effectiveness could also be reinforced by the use of some of the mechanisms for the application of international criminal law, such as the creation of a Latin American and Caribbean Court against transnational organized crime (including, or not, a supranational agency for the collection and analysis of information).
