Topic Summary
The Organization of the American States will provide delegates a bilingual platform to discuss the Proliferation of Drug Trafficking in the Americas with a focus on the security, corruption, and governance challenges that fuel the crisis. In addressing drug trafficking, delegates will explore its profound impact on regional stability, democratic institutions, and civilian life. In this committee, delegates will analyze the failures and successes of past military-led actions in the region of America, deciding what will be the best course of action.
