From the Paper:

" Governments throughout the world have been fighting organized criminal organizations for generations. As the organized crime groups have joined forces to increase their ability to beat the government, government and law enforcement agencies throughout the world must endeavor to join forces in order to intercept, attack and finally defeat the ever changing and growing industry of organized crime. A desperate need for greater political commitment from the governments of the world exists today. Sharing information, intelligence, strategies and resources from one agency to another is a must for international and domestic governments. However, this collaboration between various agencies must also extend to the obliteration of corruption that exists within governments at all levels. Government and political solidarity that will target and decimate organized crime across the globe is tantamount for the success combating organized crime and will act as a foundation for generations to follow."
