The OAS strengthens the capacity of Honduras on transportation, storage, management and disposal of chemical substances
May 20, 2014
The Organization of American States (OAS), and the Government of Honduras inaugurated today a training course in management, transportation and storage of chemical substances for officials of the Customs, judiciary, Ministry of Health, Executive Revenue (DEI), Public Prosecutor's Office, National Police, and the Armed Forces of this Central American country.
This course, which will last for a week, aims to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary for proper transport, storage, identification, and handling of chemicals according to international standards.
The training, which involves about 40 officers, is part of a project funded by the Office of Programs for Western Hemisphere Affairs Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) of the Department of State of the United States, and implemented by the OAS.
The opening ceremony featured the Executive Secretary of the National Council Against Drug Trafficking in Honduras, Moris Amilcar Alvarado; the General Coordinator of the OAS Program of Assistance for Control of Arms and Munitions Carl Case; the OAS Representative in Honduras, Claudia Barrientos; Regional Coordinator for the Program of Assistance for Control of Arms and Munitions in Central America, Carlos J. Orozco S.
In recent years, Honduras has implemented efforts that have resulted in the seizure of more than 160 tons of chemicals used by organized crime as inputs for the preparation of synthetic drugs, a scourge that has been considered a security threat for the population and the environment in the countries of the region.
The OAS seeks to strengthen national capacities of its Member Countries in destroying chemical substances seized through technical and logistical support to the countries of the region that request support. In this regard, it has been made available to the States their experience in fighting traditional and new threats from a comprehensive and multisectoral approach.
