Note: "that most of the weapons used by criminals against civilians
and authorities are acquired in the centers of drug consumption
without taking effective measures to control the massive sale of
weapons to criminals". Would that include several of the governments?
Note: following has come to our attention. Have not verified nor
checked it out, but is interesting, and needs looking into, so.

Mesoamerica asks USA to stop arms sales

The member countries of the Tuxtla Mechanism supported President
Calderon and approved a warrant, in the so-called Agreement of
Yucatan, for the U.S. to curb drug use

The member countries of the Tuxtla Mechanism supported President
Felipe Calderon and approved an appeal to the United States and other
countries drug users to curb consumption and, if they can not do
that, then act to regulate it.
In the so-called Agreement of Yucatan, the approved claim in today's
meeting in Merida includes a requirement to stop gun sales to
criminals that cause violence in Latin American and Caribbean.
The message includes statements and proposals that the president of
Mexico, Felipe Calderon, has expressed on many occasions to ask the
United States a high consumption of drugs and arms sales that fuel
not only the Mexican cartels but elsewhere.
The founding countries of the Tuxtla Mechanism are Mexico, Costa
Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In 1996 joined
the mechanism, Belize and Panama, while in 2009 they brought in
Colombia and Dominican Republic.
"We welcome the agreement by which Yucatan can create an
infrastructure fund for the Mesoamerican region, which we now have a
vital instrument for promoting development," Calderon said.
"We made a statement on NAFTA have only between Mexico and Central
America and a statement, in my opinion very important, we have
externship all presidents and heads of delegation present in respect
of transnational organized crime and drug trafficking that affects
both our communities "Calderon said.
Then the substance of the agreement approved today in Merida and read
by Alejandro Poire, Secretary of the Interior.
First. Consumption centers have given huge financial power to
transnational criminal organizations involved in drug dealing.
Second. They noted that this in turn has generated a spiral of crime
and violence in various countries of Latin America and the Caribbean
because of the high economic power of these groups and increasing
their firepower, even more serious is the fact that most of the
weapons used by criminals against civilians and authorities are
acquired in the centers of drug consumption without taking effective
measures to control the massive sale of weapons to criminals.
Third. They further stressed that this has led to huge costs in terms
of lives of both civilians and elements of the security forces.
Fourth. They agreed that this is a phenomenon that has been worsening
in recent years, among other reasons because the consumption of such
substances together, far from diminishing has been increasing.
Fifth. They also noted that in some cases the criminals do not
confine their activity to the trafficking and distribution of drugs,
but diversify their activities and act as criminal organizations that
kidnap, extort, and generally seek to seize the revenues of a
community through violence or threat to citizens. This represents a
direct threat to peace and democratic coexistence of the nations of
Latin America and the Caribbean.
Sixth. Under the above and to the evidence of sustained increase in
drug consumption the leaders expressed their conviction that it is
essential that the United States and other consuming countries to
take more drastic and effective measures to track and stop the flow
of money from illegal activities into criminal organizations.
Seventh .- They said it would be desirable that there is a
significant reduction in the demand for illegal drugs. However, if
this is not possible, as demonstrated by recent experience, the
authorities in consumer countries should then explore all possible
alternatives to eliminate exorbitant profits of criminals including
regulatory or market options directed to that purpose. This would
prevent the movement of these substances continue causing high levels
of crime and violence in Latin American and Caribbean nations.
Eighth. Addition, the countries of the region demand the U.S.
Congress and foreign producers and sellers of arms to establish
effective measures to register, regulate and prevent the transfer of
assault weapons and other weapons to highly dangerous criminal groups
countries in the region.
Ninth. Finally, renewed their commitment to continue struggling with
determination against transnational criminal groups through the
continued strengthening of the institutions of security and justice
without prejudice to the implementation of social policies that
provide opportunities for education, health, leisure and work, as
prevention and treatment of addiction among children and youth of our
countries.
