Department of Legal Cooperation

Who are we?

The Department of Legal Cooperation of the Secretariat for Legal Affairs promotes international legal cooperation on justice and combating corruption, within the OAS framework. With cooperation as our underlying principle, we support the review process of the OAS Convention against Corruption within the context of its follow-up mechanism (MESICIC) while also strengthening judicial cooperation among states in such areas as mutual assistance on criminal matters and cybercrime, within the framework of the Meetings of Ministers of Justice or of Ministers or Attorneys General of the Americas (REMJA).
