On 11 April, a report from the International Coalition Against Illicit Economies (ICAIE) says that the multi-billion dollar illicit economies across Latin America, long centred on the cocaine and narcotics trade but diversifying to new commodities and activities, are undergoing a volatile, profound reordering and restructuring, with long-term strategic repercussions in the years to come for the US and its key allies in the hemisphere. It argues that the malign influence of China, Russia, and Iran exacerbates regional anti-crime strategies. In this context, the report identifies 5 emerging security trends that offer new challenges to law enforcement and policy communities in the
region that are far-reaching, and threaten to accelerate the negative trends unless dealt with effectively.
