The OAS uses a four-pronged approach to effectively implement its essential purposes. The Organization’s four main pillars––democracy, human rights, security, and development––support each other and are intertwined through political dialogue, inclusiveness, cooperation, and legal and follow-up instruments that provide the OAS with the tools to maximize its work in the Hemisphere.

The Hemispheric Information Exchange Network for Mutual
Assistance in Criminal Matters and Extradition (the “Network”) has been in
development since the year 2000, when the Third Meeting of the Ministers of
Justice or of Ministers or Attorney Generals of the Americas (REMJA-III) decided
to increase and improve the exchange of information among OAS Member States in
the area of mutual assistance in criminal matters. To read about the origins of
the network, click here.
The Network is composed of three components: a public website, a private
website and a secure electronic communication system.
The public component of
the Network (the site you are currently on) is a virtual library which provides
legal information related to mutual assistance and extradition for the 34 OAS
member states. By clicking on a country in the left-hand column, you can view a
description of the country’s legal system, link to its basic legal documents
(Constitution, criminal code, etc), and read the text of bilateral and
multilateral treaties related to mutual assistance in criminal matters and
extradition.
Private Component
The private component
of the Network contains information for individuals who are directly involved in
legal cooperation in criminal matters. The private site includes information on
meetings, points of contact in other countries, a glossary of terms and training
information on the secure electronic communication system.
Secure Electronic Communication System
The purpose of the secure electronic communication system is to
facilitate the exchange of information between central authorities who deal with
issues of mutual assistance in criminal matters and extradition. This system not
only provides secure instant email service to central authorities, it also
provides a space for virtual meetings and the exchange of pertinent documents.
