OAS and Guatemala Train Officials to Dispose of Chemicals
January 25, 2014
The Organization of American States (OAS) and the government of Guatemala today concluded a training courseon the disposal of chemicals for a group of 44 Guatemalan officials to be assigned to address the problem.
The OAS Department of Public Security, through the Program of Assistance for the Control of Arms and Ammunition (PACAM), worked this week with Guatemalan authorities in the training of officials serving in the Ministry of Interior, the National Police, the National Institute of Forensic Science (INACIF), the Public Ministry, the Executive Secretariat of the Commission against Addictions and Illicit Drug Trafficking (SECCATID) and the Judiciary.
The course aimed to ensure officials could effectively and safely transport, store, handle and destroy the chemical substances seized by the government of Guatemala.
The training was held in the Auditorium of the General Department of Counternarcotics Analysis and Information (SGAIA) in Guatemala City, and was carried out under a project funded by the State Department of the United States, and implemented by the OAS to assist the government in the safe disposal of seized substances. After the workshop ended, and for the next six months, the Guatemalan authorities will carry out activities to eliminate a significant amount of the chemicals seized.
Guatemala has seized more than 3,000 tons of chemicals that are used as inputs in the preparation of synthetic drugs that also constitute a threat to people and the environment of the countries of the region. The progress made and resources invested to address the problem place the authorities of Guatemala at the forefront of the search systematic solutions to the problem of the accumulation of chemicals in the region.
The OAS, through its Department of Public Security, seeks to strengthen national capacities in removing chemicals seized through technical and logistical support to the countries of the region that request support.
