HEMISPHERIC ANTI-TERRORISM MEETING BEGINS THIS WEEK
February 14, 2005
The Inter-American Committee against Terrorism (CICTE) of the Organization of American States (OAS) will meet from February 16 to 18 in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, to assess progress in combating terrorism and examine hemispheric strategies to strengthen cooperation.
The meeting will bring together high-level government officials from around the Americas, who will discuss such issues as border controls, transportation security and terrorist financing. They will also discuss how to strengthen cybersecurity systems to provide greater safeguards for communications and computer infrastructures.
The Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Patrick Manning, and OAS Acting Secretary General Luigi R. Einaudi are scheduled to speak at the opening ceremony, which will take place on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. at the Hilton Conference Centre in Port-of-Spain. CICTE Chair Elias Bluth, Uruguay’s Under-Secretary for National Defense, will also deliver opening remarks.
The member states will assess CICTE’s progress to date and adopt a work plan to guide the inter-American agency’s actions in the coming year.
Steven Monblatt, CICTE’s Executive Secretary and the Acting Director of Multidimensional Security at the OAS, noted that in recent months CICTE has significantly expanded its technical advisory services to member states. For example, in cooperation with several partners it has trained over 300 port and airport security officials in 28 countries, to help them meet today’s new security standards for international shipping and civil aviation. CICTE is also working with governments to help them bring national legislation in harmony with the Inter-American Convention against Terrorism and other international instruments.
CICTE Chair Bluth said in a speech last year that the work of the Inter-American Committee against Terrorism is deeply rooted in a shared moral ethic. “There is no cause in the world that has the right to use terrorism as a weapon to accomplish its objectives,” he said, adding that this principle is shared by all nations that make up the inter-American system.
