“…on September 21, 2001, the foreign ministers of Latin America adopted a resolution calling for Organization of American States (OAS) members to ‘take effective measures to deny terrorist groups the ability to operate within their territories.’ They called on countries to work together to pursue those responsible for the attacks and bring them to justice, strengthening cooperation in such areas as extradition, mutual league assistance, and information exchange. The ministers also directed the OAS Permanent Council to begin drafting a hemispheric antiterrorism treaty and convene a meeting of the Inter-American Committee against Terrorism (CICTE).”
