In 2017, UNODC, through the project “Strengthening strategies against precursor diversion and drug trafficking in Peru”, in close coordination with the Division for Investigation and Monitoring of Controlled Substances and Chemical Inputs of the Anti-Drug Directorate of the National Police of Peru, conducted two workshops, in Ayacucho and Puno, on the use of global positioning system methodologies. As a result, Peru made advances in mapping the routes and methods used in precursor diversion and in identifying risk zones in the Ayacucho and Puno regions. 5. In addition, with the objective of gradually implementing a Global Positioning System (GPS)-based methodology, the Anti-Narcotics Police of Peru procured global positioning system equipment, cameras and scanner equipment, to be used by various anti-narcotics divisions within coca production areas in Peru.

UNODC developed two specialized tools to enhance prevention and prosecution strategies in the fight against money-laundering in the public and private sectors: a guide on modern techniques in investigating cases of money-laundering and a model of risk management in relation to countering money-laundering and the financing of terrorism in the context of public performance spectacles. In addition, UNODC helped to build capacities in the administration of justice in relation to money-laundering by delivering five specialized training events to 250 criminal investigators. 2/11 V.18-05332 UNODC/HONLAC/28/3 Ecuador 11. In September 2017, a memorandum of understanding between Ecuador and UNODC was signed with the aim of consolidating, developing and detailing joint cooperation efforts and common objectives in the areas of anti-corruption, illicit asset recovery and anti-money-laundering. Following the signing of the memorandum of understanding, UNODC and authorities of Ecuador cooperated on the analysis of the bill to combat corruption entitled “Organic Law Reforming the Comprehensive Organic Penal Code”, as well as on the draft law on asset forfeiture and on the development of indicators for the design of public policies against corruption. In that connection, UNODC and the World Bank responded positively to a request from the Government of Ecuador by initiating technical assistance activities through the joint UNODC-World Bank Stolen Asset Recovery (StAR) Initiative in the area of recovery of stolen and diverted assets. Panama 12. The Regional Office in Panama continued to provide assistance to the Office of the Attorney General in the establishment of a specialized unit on money-laundering. Paraguay 13. UNODC and national partners made progress in the establishment of a centralized unit for the management of forfeited assets. UNODC also provided relevant national authorities with technical assistance to strengthen the capacity of prosecutors and judges in the area of asset forfeiture. Peru 14. Peru recently enacted legislation bringing the country’s savings and loan cooperatives under the regulatory umbrella of the Superintendency of Banking, Insurance and Private Pension Fund Administrators. IV. Strengthening of national police forces and cooperation initiatives Central America and the Caribbean 15. All UNODC initiatives being implemented in Central America continued to support, either directly or indirectly, the implementation of the Central American Integration System’s Central American security strategy. 16. Assistance was provided by UNODC to police forces in Central America through the delivery of training activities in the field of cybercrime, in particular through the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force programme. 17. In the context of a regional initiative focused on combating trafficking in persons in Central America and the Dominican Republic, UNODC provided criminal justice practitioners and law enforcement officials working in border areas with relevant training on detecting, investigating, prosecuting and adjudicating trafficking in persons cases and identifying and assisting victims. A memorandum of understanding on regional cooperation in the field of trafficking in persons was developed under the initiative and was signed by the Attorneys General of Member States in Central America (except Nicaragua) and the Dominican Republic. 18. In El Salvador, UNODC continued to support the work of the Cybercrime Unit established within the National Civil Police, including through training activities, the purchase of equipment and software and the provision of assistance in the development and implementation of its annual operations plan.

  • Introduction to the Arcón© Method
    Introduction to the Arcón© Method Canine Catastrophe Rescue consists of using dogs to find people that have been accidentally buried for whatever reason (explosions, earthquakes, structural flaws, hurricanes, tornadoes, avalanches, landslides, etc.). Arcón is a system to train and intervene in catastrophes with canine rescue teams. It was created by Jaime Parejo after twelve years of study and research. The method was deemed finished in October 1994, and he chose the name Arcón in honour of his pet and pioneering student. The Arcón Method’s proven success in rescue operations has led it to win numerous major official awards both nationally and internationally, such as the First Prize for Research granted by the Spanish Royal Canine Society and the Sasakawa Certificate of Distinction from the United Nations. The first canine rescue unit that Jaime Parejo officially assembled using this system was for the firefighters of Seville (Spain) back in 1996, where he is currently chief of this unit. Since then, official guides, instructors and rescue dogs have been trained and certified for important firefighting squads and police corps in a number of countries where there is a heightened risk of disasters (Colombia, El Salvador, Ecuador, Chile…). The Arcón Method is primarily based on a set of seven innovative behavioural techniques which complement each other and have an effective impact on three fundamental, interrelated parameters in search operations: autonomy, motivation and concentration. The moulding processes (reinforcement of successive approximations to the desired response) that characterise traditional canine search training methods and which are still currently used, are excessively limited to basic or primary learning processes (classical conditioning, operant conditioning, avoidance, extinction, generalisation, discrimination, cognitive perspectives, etc.).

  • Annual Report 2015
    CHAPTER IV.A THE USE OF FORCE A. Introduction 1. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (hereinafter “Inter-American Commission, “Commission” or “IACHR”) learned that during 2015, due to the arbitrary and excessive use of force, hundreds of persons throughout the hemisphere have lost their lives, suffered violations of their integrity, or faced several obstacles to the exercise of other human rights and freedoms. This situation, which constitutes a cause of concern for the Commission, has also been the subject of pronouncements by international human rights organs such as the Human Rights Committee, the Committee against Torture, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions (hereinafter “Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial executions”), the Special Rapporteur on torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment (hereinafter “Special Rapporteur on torture”), the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, as well as various international and domestic civil society organizations.1 2. In particular, from late 2014 to the date of the adoption of this report, the IACHR observes that force has often been used in a manner incompatible with international standards. The civilian police agents or their special groups, the armed forces, and private security agents have deployed their force in different contexts, such as social protests and public demonstrations, immigration and anti-crime operations, and evictions, among others,
